Ingredients
- 2 pounds yams (orange sweet potatoes)
- 1 1/2 pounds yellow beets
- 1 pound carrots
- 1 pound parsnips
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons orange blossom water or 1 tbsp orange juice
- 2 teaspoons grated orange zest

Instructions
- Place racks in the upper third and lower third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with foil. Cut the vegetables into 1 1/2-inch chunks.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, orange blossom water or orange juice, and grated orange zest.
- Place the cut vegetables into a large mixing bowl and toss them with the honey mixture till evenly coated.
- Spread the vegetables out evenly across the two cookie sheets, making sure to leave space between the vegetables. Don't overcrowd the pans. Sprinkle the vegetables lightly with salt and black pepper.Cover both sheets with another layer of foil. Place the sheets into the oven. Let the vegetables cook for 35 minutes. Halfway through cooking, uncover and stir the vegetables, recover, then switch the baking sheets on their racks.
- After 35 minutes, uncover the baking sheets and stir the vegetables again gently. Allow the vegetables to roast another 10-15 minutes till they are glazed and caramelized.
- Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Serve warm. These vegetables can be made ahead early in the day, then reheated in the oven or microwave just before serving.
