Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Carrots
- 3 medium Parsnips
- 2 medium Sweet Potatoes
- 2 medium Beets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Peel the carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and beets. Cut all the vegetables into evenly-sized chunks, about 1 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Place the chopped vegetables in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss well to coat.
Spread the vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow proper roasting.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, prepare the lemon dill glaze. Mince the garlic finely and chop the fresh dill.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic, dill, and lemon zest until well combined.
When the vegetables are done roasting, transfer them to a serving dish. Drizzle the lemon dill glaze over the warm vegetables and gently toss to coat evenly.
Serve immediately as a side dish or as a light vegetarian main course. Enjoy!
