Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  2. Cut the carrots, potatoes, rutabaga, and red onion into similar-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch thick. This ensures even baking.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the cut carrots, potatoes, rutabaga, and red onion with olive or avocado oil, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. 
  4. Transfer the vegetables to the baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer.
  5. Roast the vegetables on the middle rack of the oven for 20 minutes. Gently stir the vegetables, rotate the baking sheet, and bake for another 20 minutes or until tender and golden brown around the edges.  

Chef Tips

When using an unlined sheet pan, the vegetables have direct contact with the hot surface, allowing for better and faster caramelization. On the other hand, parchment paper creates a barrier that inhibits direct contact and helps retain moisture in vegetables. 

In addition to vegetable combinations, try using different herbs or spices, either fresh or dried. Some examples are rosemary, oregano, or basil. 

Other vegetable variations are suggested below but the combinations are endless.
– Broccoli, peppers, mushrooms and onions
– Zucchini, peppers, asparagus, onion
– Butternut squash, parsnips, onions, sweet potatoes, red potatoes
