Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Carrots
- 4 medium Parsnips
- 3 medium Beets
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 4 whole, peeled Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and peel the carrots, parsnips, beets, and sweet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1-1.5 inches in size, for consistent cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped vegetables. Add the olive oil, rosemary, thyme, peeled garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Spread the vegetable mixture out on a large baking sheet, ensuring that they are not overcrowded to allow them to roast evenly.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 40-45 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure an even caramelization.
Check if the vegetables are cooked through by piercing them with a fork. They should be tender and slightly crisp on the edges.
Remove the roasted roots from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh herbs for extra flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a light vegetarian main course.
