3. Step 3: Spread the vegetables evenly on the sheet pan and create 6 small mounds of the spiced ground beef mixture spaced among the vegetables.
4. Step 4: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the beef is cooked through and vegetables are tender and caramelized, stirring vegetables halfway through cooking.
5. Step 5: Remove from oven and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over everything before serving.
