Peel and cut the carrots and parsnips into approximately 1-inch pieces.
Quarter the potatoes and sweet potato into similar-sized pieces.
Cut the red onion into wedges and separate the layers.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrots, parsnips, potatoes, sweet potato, and red onion.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and toss to coat them evenly.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables. Toss again to ensure even coating.
Spread the coated vegetables evenly on a baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer for optimal roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, gently flip the vegetables using a spatula to ensure even roasting.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue roasting for an additional 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and golden brown.
Remove the vegetables from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or a delicious standalone vegan meal.
