Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Clean the baby bella mushrooms using a damp paper towel to remove any dirt and slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Add them to the bowl with the sweet potatoes.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion. Add the slices to the bowl.
Mince the garlic cloves and sprinkle them over the vegetables.
Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture, then add the thyme leaves, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
Spread the vegetable mixture out onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure the vegetables are in a single layer to promote even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
If desired, melt the unsalted butter and drizzle it over the vegetables after removing them from the oven for extra richness.
Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving dish and garnish with additional fresh thyme leaves if desired. Serve warm.
