A colorful medley of carrots, parsnips, and sweet potatoes, roasted to tender, caramelized perfection. Lightly seasoned with aromatic herbs, this dish is a simple, healthy, and delicious side for any main course.
Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet. Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
Prepare the vegetables. Wash, peel, and chop the carrots, parsnips, and sweet potato into uniform 1-inch pieces. Cut the red onion into wedges. Peel the garlic cloves and gently smash them with the flat side of a knife to release their aroma.
Season the vegetables. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the prepared vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with dried thyme, dried rosemary, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated.
Roast the vegetables. Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to promote browning. Roast for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender and have beautifully caramelized, golden-brown edges.
Garnish and serve. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle with fresh, chopped parsley. Serve immediately as a warm and flavorful side dish.
