Ingredients
- 2 large carrots
- 2 medium parsnips, peeled
- 2 medium beets, peeled
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary or sage
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
Directions
- Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 425°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cut carrots and parsnips into ½-inch-thick slices on a diagonal, then cut into half moons. Cut beets and onion into ½-inch-thick wedges. Cut sweet potato into ¾-inch cubes. You should have about 12 cups raw vegetables.
