Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Carrots
- 3 medium Parsnips
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes
- 2 medium Beets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 6 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 4 whole, peeled Garlic cloves
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large sheets Parchment paper
- 4 pieces Twine
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and cut the carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and beets into roughly 1-inch chunks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped vegetables, olive oil, garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Lay out the two sheets of parchment paper on a flat surface. Divide the seasoned vegetables evenly between the two sheets.
Top each pile of vegetables with a sprig of rosemary and three sprigs of thyme.
Carefully gather the sides of the parchment paper to form a pouch, ensuring the vegetables are sealed inside but not too tightly packed. Secure the ends of each pouch with twine.
Place the parchment pouches on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the vegetables are fork-tender.
Remove from the oven and let the pouches cool for 5 minutes before cutting them open. Be cautious of the hot steam inside.
Carefully transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving platter or serve directly from the parchment for a rustic presentation.
