I love roasted root vegetables. This is my own version of a healthy vegetable recipe for cooler weather. It is so easy to do that I make it often.
Just mix everything together and pop it in the oven. Great baked alongside a chicken or beef dish for an easy, all in the oven meal.
This is a very healthy side dish recipe. It takes a bit of oil to crisp up the veggies, but not a lot. They taste so fabulous together like this, you will refer back to this recipe over and over again like I do.
What Vegetables to Add in Your Roasted Root Vegetables Recipe
Root vegetables are those that grow below the ground, like potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots and onions (all in this roasted vegetable recipe).
Beets are another vegetable that roast well. Brussels sprouts work well in this mix as well.
I tend to roast cauliflower separately because it cooks faster than the vegetables I have included here.
You can also add parsnips to this recipe. I add them often and love the mix. I like the parsnips in the vegetable mixture because they add a bit of sweetness to the vegetables.
Whatever vegetables you choose, if you follow this simple recipe you will enjoy roasted root vegetables often.
