Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Peel and chop the carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and beets into uniformly sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes, to ensure even roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the vegetables evenly.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to achieve caramelization.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly browned on the edges.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the maple balsamic dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and fresh thyme leaves.
Once the vegetables are done roasting, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving bowl.
Drizzle the maple balsamic dressing over the roasted vegetables, tossing gently to distribute the glaze evenly.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy the sweet, tangy, and earthy flavors of the roasted root vegetables.
