Delicious Roasted Root Veggies Recipe for Healthy Eating

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 2 medium carrots (peeled and chopped)
  • 2 medium parsnips (peeled and chopped)
  • 1 medium sweet potato (peeled and cubed)
  • 1 medium beet (peeled and cubed)
  • 1 cup red onion (sliced)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (for roasting)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Ensure the oven reaches the desired temperature for even roasting.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped carrots, parsnips, sweet potato, beet, and red onion.

    Chop the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
  3. Season the Veggies

    Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and thyme. Toss to coat evenly.

    Use your hands for an even distribution of oil and seasonings.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Avoid overcrowding the pan for better caramelization.
  5. Roast the Vegetables

    Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and golden.

    Check for doneness by piercing with a fork; they should be soft.
