Ingredients

• 500 grams baby potatoes
• 300 grams parsnips
• 300 grams carrots
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 units garlic cloves
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons parsley leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the baby potatoes to remove any dirt, then cut them into bite-sized pieces. Peel the parsnips and carrots, and slice them into 1-inch chunks.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrots, parsnips, and potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with minced garlic, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and lemon zest. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Spread the vegetable mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.

Step 5

Add the sprigs of rosemary directly onto the vegetables for added aroma and flavor.

Step 6

Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and use a spatula to flip the vegetables over to ensure even browning.

Step 7

Return the tray to the oven and roast for another 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are golden brown and fork-tender.

Step 8

Remove the tray from the oven and let the vegetables cool for about 5 minutes. Discard the rosemary sprigs.

Step 9

Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving dish. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy this delicious side dish!
