Ingredients
Scale
Primary Vegetables:
- 2 cups brussels sprouts
- 2 cups carrots
- 2 cups sweet potatoes
- 1 red onion
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Oils and Fats:
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Fire up your oven to a blazing 425F, creating the perfect roasting environment for delectable vegetables.
- Gather your chopped brussels sprouts, carrots, sweet potatoes, and onion wedges into a spacious mixing bowl.
- Pour 4 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables, ensuring every piece gets a glistening coating.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon each of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme across the vegetables.
- Use your hands to thoroughly mix and massage the seasonings, coating each vegetable chunk with flavor.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables across a baking sheet, creating a single layer with no overlapping pieces.
- Slide the baking sheet into the hot oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through cooking.
- Check the vegetables at the 15-minute mark, gently stirring to promote even caramelization and golden edges.
- Remove the baking sheet when vegetables are tender with crispy, golden-brown exterior corners.
- Let the roasted vegetables rest for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a serving dish, allowing flavors to settle.
Notes
- Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces to ensure even roasting and consistent texture.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet, which prevents vegetables from getting crispy and caramelized.
- Experiment with different herb combinations like rosemary, sage, or za’atar for unique seasonal flavors.
- For a vegan or gluten-free version, this recipe already meets those dietary requirements without any modifications.
