Method

  2. Chop the carrots, parsnips, and bell peppers into similar-sized pieces for even roasting.
  3. Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts, and cut the red onions into wedges.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, toss all the chopped vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren’t crowded.
  6. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through, until edges are golden and crispy.
  7. Check that the vegetables are tender inside and have a smoky char on the edges; if needed, roast a few more minutes.
  8. Remove the vegetables from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs for added aroma and flavor.
  9. Let the vegetables rest for 5 minutes to allow flavors to settle.
  10. Serve the vibrant, crispy, and tender roasted vegetables hot from the oven.

Notes

For extra smoky flavor, sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika before roasting. Feel free to customize with your favorite herbs or add a drizzle of balsamic vinegar after roasting for a sweet tang.
