Ingredients
- 1 pound sweet potatoes or yams, peeled, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
- 1 pound shallots peeled (about 8 to 10 shallots)
- 1/2 pound parsnips peeled, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
- 1/2 pound Rutabagas or turnips, peeled, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
- 1/2 pound carrots peeled, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic chopped (or more to taste)
- 2 teaspoons fresh Rosemary or fresh thyme, chopped, or 1/4 teaspoon dried
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes, parsnips, rutabagas, and carrots, drizzle with olive oil.
- Arrange vegetables on prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle with garlic and rosemary or thyme, then season to taste with salt and pepper. (I like 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.)
- Roast until vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork and browned around the edges, about 60 minutes. Stir vegetables occasionally to ensure even browning.
Notes
- Sweet potatoes or yams, shallots, parsnips, rutabagas or turnips, carrots: Or any sturdy vegetables you enjoy or need to use up.
- Olive oil: A good rule of thumb for any roasted vegetable recipe? Estimate 1 tablespoon of oil for every 1 pound of vegetables. Don't skimp; a coating of oil will add a subtle rich flavor and help the vegetables crisp in the oven.
- Garlic: At least 3 cloves; more if you like (I often do)! Roasting tames any bite so you just taste a luscious, mildly sweet flavor.
