How to make this roasted root vegetables recipe

Are you ready for how simple this is? The bulk of the work involved with this roasted root vegetables recipe is going to be in chopping your veggies, and even that is not too bad!

Peel & chop your carrots, parsnips and beets. Chop your potatoes and sweet potatoes (don’t worry about peeling!)
Toss in olive oil with rosemary, flaky sea salt and sliced garlic.
Spread out on a sheet pan.

Roast away! I gave my roasted root vegetables recipe a stir up halfway through.

Can this oven roasted vegetables recipe be made the day before? This recipe is definitely best served fresh, however you can roast them the day before, then rewarm in a covered pan at 350°F for 20-30 minutes, or until warmed through.

Can I swap out the rosemary in this oven roasted root vegetables recipe? Sure! I bet one of these seven spice rubs would go great on these roasted veggies. Add 1-2 tablespoons.

Can I swap out one of the root vegetables? Sure, you can leave out any of these vegetables. When swapping, make sure you pick a vegetable with a long roasting time. Butternut squash might be a good pick!

Tips & equipment for oven roasted vegetables

I recently invested in a good quality sheet pan (these ones!) and wished I had sooner!
I highly recommend a good quality flaky sea salt
don’t overcrowd the pan…if you do, you can cook for 10 minutes longer or until everything gets nice and golden.
