Oven Roasted Root Vegetables Recipe
This recipe features a mix of root vegetables and Brussels sprouts roasted until tender but still crisp. The vegetables are tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roasted at high heat before being finished with a lemon herb butter. The combination of hearty roots and the lemony butter adds depth and brightness to the dish, making it a flavorful side that complements many meals.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Brussels sprouts sliced in half
- 3 parsnip cut into 1” cubes, peeled
- 1 celeriac cut into 1” cubes, peeled
- 2 baby carrot cut into 1” slices, bunches, peeled
- 2 pounds baby potato cut in half
- 1 red onion peeled and julienne
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup butter lemon-herb
- sea salt cracked, to taste
- black pepper cracked, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°.
- Add the vegetables to a large bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper until coated.
- Spread the veggies on 2 sheet trays lined with parchment paper, make sure not to stack them, and bake at 450° for 25 to 28 minutes or until roasted and cooked. They should still have some crispiness to them.
- Toss the roasted vegetables in the lemon herb butter and serve with an optional garnish of chopped fresh chives and parsley.
Notes
- Serve these roasted vegetables soon after cooking to maintain their crisp interior and caramelized edges.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months; thaw completely before reheating.
- Reheat by covering with foil and warming in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes or microwave until heated through.
- Though Brussels sprouts are not a root vegetable, their earthy flavor complements the root vegetables well in this recipe.
- You can vary the recipe by using other root vegetables like butternut squash, sweet potatoes, turnips, or beets according to availability and preference.
