Ingredients
-
1 T olive oil
1 red onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, peeled and cut in half
2 carrots, peeled and diced
1 turnip, peeled and diced
1 yam or sweet potato, peeled and diced
2 parsnips, peeled and diced
1 t dried rosemary
1 t dried thyme
1 pinch salt
1/2 t black pepper
1 T balsamic vinegar, optional
Tips
Take advantage of the local farmers market and buy whatever root vegetables they have. I like a bite to the vegetables, so I drizzle a small amount of balsamic vinegar over the vegetables while they are still hot.This side dish is quite affordable: about 60 cents a serving for the vegetables!
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a baking sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl; toss to combine. Place mixture on a sheet pan. Bake 30 minutes, turning vegetables every 10 minutes until vegetables are tender and slightly browned. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar before serving.

I added brocolli, carrots, celery, portabella mushrooms, granny smith apples,used fresh herbs plus basil, omitted the salt, added cayenne pepper, used vegetable stock instead of olive oil, and baked it in a covered baking dish at 350 for 1 1/2 hours or until tender. The flavors are combined YUM! - 12/16/09

started using a recipe like this years ago - now family favorite but not considered "a diet food"! To control the amount of oil used (and unnecessary calories) - chop the vegetable in to 1" pieces, put in gallon bag with 2-3 tbls oil, let sit for an hour, rotate bag to distribute thinest oil layer - 12/25/09

Great way to make use of end-of-season CSA veggies (beets, turnips, parsnips, taters, squash, etc). I switched to my favorite seasonings (cumin, corriander, allspice and cinnamon) to give it a bit more kick. Also chilled veggies in spices and oil in a ziploc before cooking to increase the taste. - 11/1/10

Since it is spring and fresh root vegetables are a way off in my locale, I thought that I would mention that this also work well with spring/summer vegetables. I do a version of this with zuchinni and yellow squash, onions, colored peppers, asparagus - whatever I have in alum pan or foil on grill. - 5/10/11

Oh my goodness, these were sooo good. I have never cooked with rosemary or thyme and I keep seeing it in all the healthy recipes and wanted to try it. I paired these with "mock" fried chicken and my family (18,16,14 & 5) went to town, all had seconds. THEN, i told them it was 'diet' food. lol. - 9/13/12

Made a variation of this over the weekend. Mine included sweet & russet potatos, baby carrots, baby bella mushrooms, zucchini, red & yellow peppers, red onion, & grape tomatoes. Baked 1/2 hr (added soft vegs the last half). Used dill instead of rosemary & added balsamic before cooking. Super Yum! - 5/15/12

Although I tweaked the ingredients, the bottom line is this is one recipe you want to have in your arsenal. Delicious, and the garlic, thyme and rosemary make the entire kitchen smell great!
This was the first time I roasted vegetables, so I am very grateful for this recipe. Will make it often. - 1/12/12

I made this last night to go with our fish. The subs I did were, only used 1/2 the onion, 2 cloves of garlic, left out the salt & pepper, and couldn't find my Rosemary so, used a tsp of Italian seasoning. I just looked at the photo, is that how you "diced" the veggies? I made them pinky nail sized. - 1/9/12

I added 1-1/2 lbs of butternut squash to this recipe, omitted the salt and added some Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy, and Onion and Herb seasoning, and poured the balsamic vinegar over the veggies before roasting. Served it for Christmas dinner and got rave reviews. Thanks Chef Meg for an awesome recipe!!!! - 12/30/11

I didn't have any parsnips or onions, so I used a butternut squash and one really huge turnip (about 3 pounds), carrots, onion powder, purple sweet potatoes from the garden, salt and pepper and thyme. I did it in a roasting pan, and it did take longer than 30 minutes. I will try different variations - 12/6/11

This was great. Per another members suggestion we added brocolli (which is my 5-year-olds fave), carrots, celery, & portabellas. Sub'ed white cooking white 4 oil & added cubed turkey ham. Next day, turned leftovers into hash and served with eggs over-medium & a skinny hollindaise. So yummy! - 11/9/11
