How to Roast Root Vegetables

Roasted Root Vegetables are a simple to make, nutrient-packed side dish (like delicious deviled eggs too!), and with so many vegetable options it’s hard to get tired of them!

Choose vegetables I use potatoes, sweet potatoes, red onion, and parsnips, but carrots, turnips, brussels sprouts and beets are all great choices
Prep and chop Peel skins if desired (not required for potatoes or carrots) and chop all veggies so they’re similar in size. This helps them cook evenly.
Oil and season Drizzle with oil and your favorite seasonings (I often use Italian seasoning).
Roast and enjoy Place veggies on a baking sheet and cook at a high temperature until tender. So easy!

Vegetables for Roasting

Potatoes, sweet potatoes (or yams), carrots, parsnips, turnips, onions, and beets are all great root vegetables for oven roasting.

If you’re adding in other vegetables that cook quicker (such as bell peppers) they’re best added during the last 15 minutes or so.

How long to roast root vegetables?

This will vary depending on the size of your vegetables, but for this recipe (with vegetables cut to 1 ½” pieces and spread evenly over a baking sheet), they will take approximately 40-50 minutes to roast and cook on 400°F.

You will be able to tell that your vegetables are finished cooking if they are tender and soft inside when pierced with a fork.

Are roasted vegetables good reheated?

Absolutely! These roasted root vegetables make great leftovers heated in either the microwave or in the oven. You can also use any leftovers to make a roasted root vegetable salad. Simply place in a bowl and toss with your favorite dressing (or chop and add to a green salad). You could even add them to a delicious Creamy Potato Soup to give it even MORE flavor!
