Ingredients

• 4 medium Carrots
• 3 medium Parsnips
• 3 medium Beets
• 2 medium Sweet Potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 teaspoons Fresh Thyme Leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 3 whole Garlic Cloves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel the carrots, parsnips, beets, and sweet potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1.5 inches in diameter, for even cooking.

Step 3

Place the chopped vegetables into a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Pour the honey mixture over the vegetables and toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 6

Spread the vegetables out in a single, even layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 7

Crush the garlic cloves slightly with the side of a knife, leaving the skins on, and scatter them among the vegetables on the sheet.

Step 8

Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning.

Step 9

Check the vegetables for doneness; they should be tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 10

Remove from the oven, discard garlic skins, and serve warm as a side dish to your favorite main course.
