Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.

Step 2

Peel the carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and beets. Trim the edges if necessary.

Step 3

Cut all the vegetables into roughly equal-sized pieces, about 1-inch chunks, to ensure even roasting.

Step 4

Place the chopped vegetables in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Chop the rosemary and thyme finely.

Step 6

Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables in the bowl. Add the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Toss everything together until the vegetables are well-coated with the oil and seasonings.

Step 8

Spread the seasoned vegetables into a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they roast instead of steam.

Step 9

Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through cooking to promote even browning.

Step 10

When the vegetables are tender and golden brown, remove them from the oven.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy as a light vegetarian main course.
