Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 pound parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 medium beets, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel carrots, parsnips, and beets. Cut all vegetables into uniform 1-inch pieces.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir in fresh thyme leaves.
  4. Place cut vegetables on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Drizzle with the glaze and toss until evenly coated.
  5. Spread vegetables in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded.
  6. Roast for 25 minutes.
  7. Remove pan, flip vegetables, and spoon any remaining glaze over them.
  8. Return to oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until tender and caramelized.
  9. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not crowd the pan to ensure proper caramelization rather than steaming. Use fresh vegetables; frozen vegetables will become mushy. If vegetables brown too quickly, lower oven temperature to 400°F. This recipe is naturally nut-free.
