Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium carrots
- 3 medium parsnips
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 medium beets
- 1 cup pearl onions
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and cut the carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and beets into uniform bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
Peel the pearl onions by blanching them in boiling water for 1 minute, then transferring them to an ice bath. Squeeze gently to remove their skins.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped root vegetables and peeled pearl onions.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
Add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss again to ensure everything is well coated with the seasoning.
Spread the vegetables out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they roast evenly.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and golden brown on the edges.
Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve warm as a comforting side dish for any meal or as a standalone dish with crusty bread.
