Ingredients
- 3 medium Carrots
- 3 medium Parsnips
- 2 medium Sweet Potatoes
- 2 medium Beets
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 4 whole Garlic Cloves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash, peel, and cut the carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and beets into evenly sized chunks, approximately 1-inch pieces.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Add the prepared vegetables and whole garlic cloves to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Spread the vegetables out in a single layer onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 40-45 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Check for doneness by piercing a piece of sweet potato with a fork—it should be tender and lightly caramelized around the edges.
Step 8
Remove from the oven, transfer to a serving platter, and garnish with additional fresh thyme if desired before serving.
