Ingredients
- 8 ounces carrots
- 8 ounces parsnips
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cut 8 ounces carrots and 8 ounces parsnips into 1/2-inch thick coins. Peel and cut 1 medium sweet potato into 1/2-inch cubes.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, combine all vegetables with 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Toss until vegetables are evenly coated and the turmeric is distributed.
- Step 3: Spread vegetables in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are caramelized and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Step 4: Check for doneness by pressing a parsnip piece—it should yield easily without resistance, with a deep golden-brown crust.
