Ingredients

• 3 medium Carrots
• 3 medium Parsnips
• 1 large Red onion
• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Peel and slice the carrots and parsnips into thin sticks, approximately 3 inches long. Halve the Brussels sprouts and slice the red onion into thick wedges.

Step 3

Place all prepared vegetables in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the mixture over the vegetables and toss until all pieces are evenly coated.

Step 6

Spread the coated vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring there is space between the pieces for even browning.

Step 7

Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through cooking. The vegetables should be tender and caramelized with golden brown edges.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the vegetables cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy them on their own for a flavorful vegetarian option.
