Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss 2 medium peeled and sliced carrots, 2 medium peeled and sliced parsnips, 1 medium peeled and diced potato, and 1 large cut onion wedges with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Step 2: Roast for 25 minutes, stirring once halfway, until vegetables are tender and golden at the edges.
- Step 3: While vegetables roast, heat 1/2 cup Belgian wine and 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until reduced by half and slightly syrupy.
- Step 4: Remove vegetables from oven. Pour the reduced wine sauce over the roasted vegetables, add 1 tbsp butter, and toss to coat. Return to oven for 5 minutes to melt the butter and meld flavors.
- Step 5: Serve warm, garnished with extra thyme.
