Oven Roasted Root Vegetables Recipe
Cooking root vegetables in the oven makes them tender with crisp, slightly caramelized edges. Onion rings, balsamic vinegar and brown sugar highlight the sweet and earthy flavor of the veggies. White root veggies, such as celeriac, parsnips or Jerusalem artichokes, discolor once exposed to air, so I recommend keeping the peeled and cut vegetables in a bowl with water and lemon juice until ready to roast.
Ingredients
- 750 g mixed root vegetables (We used red, yellow, and white carrots, beetroots, turnips, parsnips, celeriac, sweet potatoes and Jerusalem artichokes.)
- 1 large red onion
- 1 garlic clove, minced, or 1 tsp garlic powder
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
Prep the vegetable. Rinse the vegetables under running water. Using a vegetable peeler, peel the root vegetables. Cut the roots into bite-sized wedges or rounds. Cut the onion in half and then rings.
Preheat the oven and prep the baking tray (sheet). Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F / gas mark 4). Line a rimmed baking tray (sheet) with foil or baking (parchment) paper. Alternatively, oil the baking tray (sheet) with a thin layer of oil.
Season the vegetables. Add the cut root vegetables, onion, garlic clove or powder, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and brown sugar into a large mixing bowl and gently toss well to coat. Season with salt and black pepper according to your taste.
Bake the root veggies. Transfer the vegetables to the baking tray (sheet) and spread in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, until tender and lightly charred. Serve warm.
Tip: Turn the baking tray (sheet) halfway through and flip the root veggies.
