Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole (medium) Carrots
- 3 whole (medium) Parsnips
- 2 whole (medium) Sweet potatoes
- 1 whole (large) Red onion
- 5 whole Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Truffle oil
- 6 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and peel the carrots, parsnips, and sweet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches in width, to ensure even roasting.
Peel the red onion and cut it into wedges. Leave the garlic cloves unpeeled for a mellow roasted garlic flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared vegetables (carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, onion, and garlic).
Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss everything together to coat the vegetables evenly.
Spread the vegetables out on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure the vegetables roast, not steam.
Distribute the fresh thyme sprigs evenly over the vegetables.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
Remove the vegetables from the oven and immediately drizzle with truffle oil while still hot. Toss gently to distribute the truffle oil's flavor.
Serve the roasted root vegetables warm as a side dish or enjoy them on their own as a hearty vegetarian dish. Garnish with extra thyme sprigs if desired.
