Vegetables
- 2 cups carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 cups parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
Glaze & Seasoning
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting your vegetables evenly.
- Prepare the glaze: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Coat the vegetables: Add the chopped carrots, parsnips, baby potatoes, and red onion wedges to the bowl with the glaze. Toss thoroughly so every piece is evenly coated with the honey Dijon mixture.
- Arrange for roasting: Spread the coated vegetables out in a single layer on a large baking sheet to ensure they roast evenly without steaming.
- Roast the vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, turning the vegetables halfway through the cooking time to promote even caramelization and tenderness.
- Garnish and serve: Once the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving warm.
Notes
- You can swap baby potatoes with sweet potatoes for a different flavor and added sweetness.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste according to your dietary preferences.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Make sure to turn the vegetables halfway during roasting for even cooking and browning.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
