Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups root vegetables (carrots, parsnips) peeled and chopped
  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts halved
  • 1 cup red bell peppers seeded and chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil fruity and rich
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme chopped
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or balsamic vinegar for brightness
  • to taste sea salt and cracked pepper for seasoning

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Chef's knife
  • Mixing bowl
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Chop the root vegetables into uniform pieces about 1-inch thick for even roasting, and halve the Brussels sprouts. Slice the red peppers into strips.
  3. In a mixing bowl, toss all the chopped vegetables with olive oil, chopped thyme and rosemary, a pinch of salt and pepper, and ensure they are evenly coated.
  4. Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet, making sure they have space to breathe and caramelize properly.
  5. Place the tray in the oven and roast for about 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and slightly caramelized.
  6. Remove the tray from the oven and drizzle the vegetables with lemon juice or balsamic vinegar for a bright, tangy finish. Toss gently to coat.
  7. Let the vegetables rest for about 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld, then serve warm, showcasing their tender centers and crispy edges.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle with fresh herbs or a dash of spice before serving. Adjust roasting time based on vegetable size and oven performance.
