Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 parsnips, sliced
- 1 sweet potato, cubed
Glaze and Seasoning
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables evenly.
- Mix Vegetables and Glaze: In a large bowl, toss the sliced carrots, sliced parsnips, and cubed sweet potatoes with the olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and pepper until all pieces are evenly coated.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the glazed vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure they roast evenly without steaming.
- Roast the Vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, turning halfway through for even cooking.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot as a flavorful side dish to your favorite main course.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary before roasting.
- You can substitute other root vegetables such as turnips or beets as desired.
- To enhance caramelization, broil the vegetables for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end of roasting, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Use pure maple syrup for the best natural sweetness and rich flavor.
