Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Peel and cut the carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and beets into 1-inch pieces, trying to keep them as uniform as possible for even roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground black pepper, dried thyme, garlic powder, and paprika.
Add the cut vegetables to the bowl and toss until all pieces are thoroughly coated with the oil and spice mixture.
Transfer the coated vegetables onto a large baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Sprinkle fresh rosemary over the vegetables.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the vegetables for 35-40 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown. Stir the vegetables halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning.
Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the vegetables to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Adjust seasoning as desired but avoid adding salt to keep it low sodium. Serve warm as a side dish.
