Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 2 lbs) Butternut squash
- 3 large Parsnips
- 3 large Carrots
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Peel the butternut squash, remove the seeds, and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Peel the parsnips and carrots, and cut them into pieces approximately the same size as the squash cubes to ensure even cooking.
Place the squash, parsnips, and carrots in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, then sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and garlic powder.
Toss the vegetables until they are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
Spread the vegetables out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring there is enough space between pieces to allow roasting rather than steaming.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then remove the tray and use a spatula to flip the vegetables for even browning.
Return the vegetables to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the tray from the oven and let the vegetables cool slightly. If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the roasted vegetables for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite main course.
