Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 4 medium carrots
• 3 medium parsnips
• 2 medium beetroot
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Begin by washing and peeling the sweet potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and beetroot. Cut all the vegetables into similar-sized chunks, approximately 1-inch pieces, to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cut vegetables with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until all the pieces are evenly coated in the seasoning.

Step 4

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with a bit of olive oil.

Step 5

Spread the vegetables evenly across the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to promote even roasting.

Step 6

Sprinkle the fresh rosemary and thyme evenly over the top of the vegetables for a fragrant aroma and added flavor.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the vegetables for approximately 35-40 minutes. Stir the vegetables halfway through the cooking time for even browning.

Step 8

Check for doneness by poking the vegetables with a fork; they should be tender with a crisp edge.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the vegetables rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy your paleo perfectly roasted root vegetables hot!
