Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Toss 2 cups diced sweet potatoes, 2 cups diced carrots, and 1 cup diced parsnips with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Spread vegetables in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring no pieces overlap to prevent steaming.
  3. Step 3: Roast for 50 minutes, stirring once after 25 minutes, until vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork and have developed deep golden edges without browning.
