Aromatic Roasted Root Vegetables
Description
This dish involves prepping a variety of root vegetables by peeling and roughly chopping them, combined with smashed garlic cloves. Fresh minced thyme and rosemary are tossed with the vegetables in olive oil, salt, and black pepper to distribute the aromatics evenly. Roasting at 375°F caramelizes the natural sugars in the vegetables, bringing out their sweetness and a golden color.
Stirring halfway through ensures even cooking and browning. The vegetables emerge tender but with some texture retained, complemented by the fragrance of garlic and herbs, creating a savory side that supports a range of main courses.
