Ingredients
- 3 medium Carrots
- 3 medium Parsnips
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes
- 2 small Red onions
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 4 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Step 2
Peel and chop the carrots, parsnips, and sweet potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
Step 3
Peel and quarter the red onions. Keep the garlic cloves whole but peel off their skins.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped vegetables, red onions, and garlic cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until all vegetables are coated evenly.
Step 5
Add the fresh thyme sprigs, salt, and black pepper to the bowl, and toss again to distribute the seasoning.
Step 6
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they aren’t overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.
Step 7
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the tray and toss the vegetables to promote even browning.
Step 8
Return the tray to the oven and roast for an additional 20 minutes or until the vegetables are golden, tender, and slightly caramelized at the edges.
Step 9
Remove the thyme sprigs before serving, as the leaves will have flavored the vegetables during cooking.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a light vegetarian entrée.
