Ingredients

In this variation we are using:

  • 10 rose or white new potatoes, quartered
  • 8 carrots carrots, peeled and cut into 3" pieces
  • 6 shallots, peeled and cut in half

Variations:

  • zucchini, corn on the cob or asparagus (see cooking instructions below)
  • herbs like chopped rosemary or thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and place rack in upper third of oven. Place parchment paper on a rimmed cookie sheet.
  2. Prepare veggies and place them on pan.
  3. Drizzle veggies with olive oil (enough that all veggies are glistening but not drenched) and toss. Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Toss. (add herbs if desired)
  4. Bake to your liking (45-55 minutes). I like to roast vegetables till the edges are crispy and slightly browned.

Variations:

  1. If you would like to add asparagus, zucchini or corn on the cob, add them to the pan ten minutes before root veggies are done.

  2. For rosemary or thyme vegetables, chop fresh herbs and sprinkle over vegetables before cooking.

Recipe Notes

You can use any root veggie you like or a combination of many. Carrots, beets, potatoes, shallots, butternut squash, even brussels sprouts etc...
