Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel and cut carrots and parsnips into 1/2-inch thick diagonal slices.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp chopped rosemary, 1 tsp thyme leaves, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper; mix until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add the vegetable slices to the bowl, tossing to coat evenly. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring pieces aren't overlapping.
  4. Step 4: Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway, until vegetables are golden brown at the edges and tender when pierced with a fork.
