Directions

Step 1

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

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped root vegetables and red onion wedges.

Drizzle the olive oil and maple syrup over the vegetables, then sprinkle with rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.

Step 6

Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
