• 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 2 teaspoons Fresh Rosemary
• 2 teaspoons Fresh Thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black Pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Wash and peel the carrots, parsnips, and sweet potatoes. Rinse the red potatoes (leave the skin on) and peel the red onion.

Step 3

Cut all the vegetables into evenly sized 1-inch chunks for uniform cooking.

Step 4

Place the chopped vegetables and crushed garlic cloves (with the skins left on) into a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with fresh rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Toss the vegetables thoroughly to coat them evenly with the oil and seasonings.

Step 7

Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring that there is some space between pieces for optimal roasting.

Step 8

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 9

Remove the vegetables from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice for a bright finish.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish and enjoy the medley of savory, roasted flavors.
