Ingredients

• 4 medium Carrots
• 3 medium Parsnips
• 2 medium Sweet potatoes
• 2 medium Beets
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Peel and chop the carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and beets into uniformly sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes, to ensure even roasting.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the vegetables evenly.

Step 4

Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to achieve caramelization.

Step 5

Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly browned on the edges.

Step 6

While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the maple balsamic dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and fresh thyme leaves.

Step 7

Once the vegetables are done roasting, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving bowl.

Step 8

Drizzle the maple balsamic dressing over the roasted vegetables, tossing gently to distribute the glaze evenly.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy the sweet, tangy, and earthy flavors of the roasted root vegetables.
