Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the parsnips and sweet potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized wedges or chunks for even roasting.
Place the cut vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the bowl with the vegetables.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme, rosemary, salt, black pepper, and paprika over the vegetables. Toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Spread the seasoned vegetables out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to ensure proper roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the parsnips and sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized on the edges.
Remove from the oven and serve warm as a side dish to your favorite main course.
