What are root vegetables?

Root vegetables are edible vegetables that grow underground and often contain starch. These include taproots (such as carrots and beets), tubers and roots (such as potatoes and sweet potatoes), bulbs (such as celery root and water chestnuts), and corms (such as onions and garlic). Root vegetable recipes can be cooked in many ways, but baking is one of the best!

• root vegetables – I used carrots, parsnips, red beets, onions and sweet potatoes. You can also roast other types of root vegetables, such as radishes, rutabagasgolden beets, radishpotatoes (various types such as red, golden, purple), other types of onions (such as white, yellow, or sweet), fennel, celery rootand yam bean.You can even add whole garlic cloves to make roasted garlic!
• Oil – Adds flavor, promotes browning and caramelization, and helps seasonings stick.You can use regular olive oil (I used This kind of), extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, ghee or melted coconut oil as a substitute. Don’t use butter, which will burn at the high temperatures needed to roast root vegetables.
• fresh herbs – Fresh rosemary and fresh thyme add earthy flavor to root vegetables, and they tolerate the heat. You can also try adding fresh sage, parsley, or oregano.If you don’t have fresh herbs on hand, you can substitute dried herbs (1/3 the amount since dried herbs are more concentrated), or go simpler and use 1/2 to 1 tablespoon italian seasoning.
• seasoning – include garlic powder, sea salt (or kosher salt) and black pepper. Other seasonings that pair well with root vegetables include smoked paprika or cumin.

This section shows how to make roasted root vegetables, with step-by-step photos and details about the technique to help you visualize it.For full instructions, including quantities and temperatures, see Recipe card below.

1. hack. Slice vegetables and add to a large bowl.
2. season. Toss vegetables with olive oil. Add rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, salt and pepper and stir to combine.
3. arrange. Spread vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet (it’s a perfect size).

Tips for the Best Roasted Root Vegetables

Roasting root vegetables is super easy, but here are some tips and considerations to keep in mind:

• Cut the vegetables into evenly sized pieces. This will ensure they cook at the same rate. 1-inch cubes or 1/2-inch slices are suitable for even cooking.
• Beets may “bleed” onto other root vegetables when mixed. It’s not a big deal, most of the color will disappear when baked. If you want to avoid this, you can separate the beets from the other vegetables with the oil and seasonings, or replace the beets with 1 cup of another root vegetable of your choice.
• Do not crowd the pot. Make sure to spread the root vegetables out in a single layer, with each piece touching the pot. This ensures even cooking and promotes caramelization.

Storage instructions

• Shop: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
• Meal Preparation: Portion vegetables into individual containers with protein, e.g. chicken or fish. Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
• Reheat: Heat in the oven at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes or in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.You can also Air fryer (my favorite method) for crispier edges.
• freeze: Transfer to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag and store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 months.
