A simple yet impressive roasted root vegetable dish with rosemary, perfect for cozy gatherings or weeknight dinners. Caramelized edges and tender insides make this a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel the carrots, parsnips, and sweet potato. Cut them all into 1-inch chunks. Cut the red onion into wedges, keeping the root end intact.
  3. Chop the rosemary finely.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add balsamic vinegar if using. Toss with your hands until well coated.
  5. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the vegetables in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  6. Roast for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through (around the 20-minute mark), until tender and caramelized.
  7. Optional: For extra crispy edges, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully.
  8. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

Cut vegetables to similar sizes for even cooking. Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. For dried rosemary, crush it between your fingers before adding. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes for best crispiness.
