Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Peel and cut 1 medium rutabaga into 1-inch cubes. Quarter 1 lb red potatoes and slice 1 lb baby carrots into 1-inch lengths.
  2. Step 2: Place all vegetables in a large bowl, add 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Arrange vegetables in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Scatter 1/4 cup fresh thyme sprigs and 2 tbsp fresh rosemary over the top.
  4. Step 4: Roast for 25 minutes, then toss vegetables with a spatula to ensure even browning. Return to oven and roast for 15-20 more minutes until edges are caramelized and fork-tender.
  5. Step 5: Check for doneness by piercing a carrot with a fork — it should slide through easily without resistance.
