Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into evenly sized chunks
  • 4 medium Yukon Gold or red potatoes, cut into evenly sized chunks
  • 1 large yellow or white onion, sliced into wedges
  • 6 cloves garlic, peeled (whole or minced based on preference)

Seasonings & Herbs

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, thyme, or parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep the Vegetables: Peel and cut the carrots and potatoes into evenly sized chunks to ensure they cook evenly. Slice the onion into wedges and peel the garlic cloves; leave them whole for a milder flavor or mince for a stronger garlic punch.
  2. Toss in Olive Oil and Seasonings: Place all the cut vegetables and garlic in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and your selected fresh herbs. Toss thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly.
  3. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding to allow for proper roasting and caramelization.
  4. Roast Until Perfect: Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 35-45 minutes, stirring once halfway through. The vegetables are done when they are tender inside with crispy, golden edges.
  5. Finish and Serve: After roasting, give the veggies a final stir. Optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving to add brightness and freshness.

Notes

  • Chop vegetables evenly for consistent cooking and texture.
  • Use high heat (425°F) for optimal caramelization.
  • Fresh garlic offers better flavor than pre-minced.
  • Stir or flip vegetables halfway through roasting to ensure even browning.
  • Choose a sturdy rimmed baking sheet to prevent steaming and promote crispiness.
