Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large carrots
- 2 large parsnips
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 medium red beets
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel the carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and beets. Cut them into uniformly sized 1-inch cubes to ensure even roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the root vegetables with extra virgin olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to evenly coat the vegetables.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to promote even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and use a spatula to turn the vegetables for even cooking.
Add the chopped rosemary and thyme to the vegetables, then return the baking sheet to the oven.
Continue roasting for another 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and edges begin to caramelize.
Remove from the oven and season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving platter and garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary or thyme before serving.
