Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the carrots, parsnips, beets, and sweet potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1.5 inches in diameter, for even cooking.
Place the chopped vegetables into a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the honey mixture over the vegetables and toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Spread the vegetables out in a single, even layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Crush the garlic cloves slightly with the side of a knife, leaving the skins on, and scatter them among the vegetables on the sheet.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning.
Check the vegetables for doneness; they should be tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven, discard garlic skins, and serve warm as a side dish to your favorite main course.
