Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons avocado or olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons fresh oregano chopped
- 2 medium sweet potatoes chopped into chunks
- 1 pound carrots or parsnips peeled and cut into ¾ inch thick rounds (about 4 cups)
- 1 medium red onion peeled and cut into ½ inch thick wedges
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the oil and oregano to a large bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add sweet potatoes, carrots (or parsnips) and onion to the bowl. Toss to coat veggies. Sprinkle vegetables generously with sea salt and pepper.
- Spread veggies onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are in one layer so they roast instead of steam. Roast veggies until tender, about 50 minutes, tossing halfway.
- This dish can be made up to 4 hours ahead. Let it stand at room temperature. If desired, rewarm in 350ºF oven for about 15 minutes, or serve at room temperature.
