A cozy and simple roasted root vegetable medley infused with fresh thyme, perfect for beginners and packed with wholesome flavor and texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 3 parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 beets (red or golden), peeled and diced
  • 1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed (optional)
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, stripped from stems
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel and chop all root vegetables into roughly 1-inch pieces, keeping sizes uniform for even roasting.
  3. Place the chopped vegetables in a large mixing bowl. Add minced garlic and fresh thyme leaves. Toss to combine.
  4. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss well until vegetables are evenly coated. Add maple syrup or honey if desired and toss again.
  5. Spread the vegetables out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Use two pans if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping and stirring gently halfway through (around 20 minutes).
  7. Check for doneness by piercing with a fork; vegetables should be tender with golden, slightly crisp edges.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end, watching closely. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Use fresh thyme for best flavor. Uniform vegetable size ensures even cooking. Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 4 days and reheated in a 400°F oven for 10 minutes to regain crispness.
