Ingredients

• 4 medium carrots
• 3 medium parsnips
• 2 medium red beets
• 2 medium golden beets
• 2 medium sweet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and peel the carrots, parsnips, red beets, golden beets, and sweet potatoes.

Step 3

Cut all the vegetables into 1-inch cubes or wedges, making sure they are roughly the same size for even cooking.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed vegetables with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.

Step 5

Toss the vegetables thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.

Step 6

Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded (use two sheets if necessary).

Step 7

Roast in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring and flipping the vegetables halfway through to promote even browning.

Step 8

Check for doneness by piercing the vegetables with a fork; they should be tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 9

Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.

Step 10

Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness before serving.
