Root vegetables have a sweet, earthy flavor that seems tailor-made for roasting. With Thanksgiving around the corner, I felt it was high time to revisit my recipe for Oven Roasted Root Vegetables. This recipe has been a favorite on the site for years.
With yams, carrots, parsnip, and potatoes, this hearty mix of vegetables is sure to satisfy. Red onions and garlic cloves are added to pump up the aromatic flavor. This dish is perfect for a buffet, it’s equally tasty warm or at room temperature. It’s also super easy to make ahead and reheat. Use any combination of root veggies you like. Trouble finding parsnip at the market? Other root vegetables like turnips, daikon, rutabaga and yuca will work too.
No matter which vegetables you use, the key to even roasting is cutting them all the same size. If you use red beets in this recipe, keep in mind that the roasting will release a pinkish juice that will color the other vegetables. I think it’s kind of pretty. If you’d rather not have pinkish veggies, use golden beets or omit the beets completely.
I like to keep my seasonings simple here. Salt, pepper, cumin, rosemary and thyme are all you need to bring out the earthy, wonderful flavors of the root veggies. For more flavor, you could sprinkle them with oregano, turmeric, or chili flakes to spice things up.
