Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Peel and cut the carrots, parsnips, and sweet potato into bite-sized chunks, ensuring all pieces are similar in size for even cooking.
Peel and quarter the red onion, then separate into layers.
Spread the chopped vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray with olive oil spray, ensuring all vegetables are coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic powder. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the vegetables.
Lightly spray the vegetables once more with nonstick cooking spray to help them roast evenly.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and caramelized around the edges.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy this guilt-free side dish as part of a healthy meal!
