There's really nothing to this recipe -- a few herbs, some olive oil -- it's the oven that transforms plain veg into a sweet roasted marvel!

Ingredients
- 1 pound parsnips peeled and cut into 1/2" thick planks, about 1 1/2" long
- 1 pound carrots peeled and cut into 1/2" thick planks, about 1 1/2" long
- 1 large white potato peeled and cut into 1/2" thick planks, about 1 1/2" long
- 2 large yellow onions peeled and sliced from root to tip
- 2 teaspoons fresh Rosemary finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425℉.
- Combine parsnips, carrots, potatoes and onion on a large sheet pan. Add rosemary, thyme, crushed red pepper (if using), salt and pepper.
- Drizzle with olive oil. Using your clean hands, toss vegetables and herbs with olive oil, until well coated with oil, herbs and spice. Spread into a single layer and bake for 20 minutes.
- Using a spatula flip vegetables and place back in the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden and tender.
- Note: if the vegetables are scrunched tight on the pan, and your intent is to get some browning and caramelization, you may want to transfer about ⅓ of the veg to another pan to finish cooking. Spreading out the vegetables allows for better browning.
