Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Peel and dice the turnips and sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Core the apples (peeling is optional) and dice them into similar-sized chunks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the turnips, sweet potatoes, and apples. Drizzle with olive oil and maple syrup. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon, salt, pepper, and optional rosemary. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the pieces are in a single layer for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning.
In the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle the dried cranberries over the mixture and return to the oven.
Remove from the oven when the vegetables and apples are tender, and slightly caramelized. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a hearty addition to any autumn meal.
