Ingredients
- 3 medium, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks carrots
- 2 medium, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks parsnips
- 4 small, quartered red potatoes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, toss 3 medium peeled and chunked carrots, 2 medium peeled and chunked parsnips, and 4 small quartered red potatoes with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
- Step 2: Spread the vegetable mixture in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until vegetables are tender and golden brown on the edges.
- Step 3: While vegetables roast, melt 3 tbsp unsalted butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Step 4: Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle the garlic butter evenly over the vegetables and sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Toss gently to combine and serve warm.
