Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
2 cups carrots, sliced
2 cups sweet potatoes, cubed
1 cup red onion, chopped

Seasoning & Oil

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon rosemary

Instructions

Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure the roasting temperature is ready for cooking the vegetables evenly and quickly.
Combine vegetables: In a large bowl, place the halved Brussels sprouts, sliced carrots, cubed sweet potatoes, and chopped red onion together to prepare for seasoning.
Season vegetables: Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle the salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and rosemary evenly to enhance flavor.
Toss to coat: Mix the vegetables thoroughly with your hands or a spoon to ensure every piece is evenly coated with oil and seasoning for balanced roasting.
Arrange on baking sheet: Evenly spread the seasoned vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer to promote proper roasting and caramelization.
Roast vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the vegetables for 25-30 minutes until they are tender inside and golden brown on the outside, stirring halfway if desired for even cooking.
Serve warm: Remove from the oven and serve the roasted vegetables warm as a delicious and festive side dish.

Notes

For extra crispiness, spread vegetables in a single layer without overcrowding.
You can add other root vegetables like parsnips or beets for variety.
Stirring halfway through roasting helps achieve even browning.
Use fresh herbs if available for enhanced flavor.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
