Be careful when handling hot vegetables and use oven mitts to protect your hands.

1

Preheat the oven and prepare the vegetables

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). While the oven is heating up, wash and peel your root vegetables. We recommend a mix of carrots, parsnips, and sweet potatoes. Cut the veggies into bite-sized cubes or slices, ensuring they are all roughly the same size for even roasting.

2

Toss with olive oil and seasonings

In a large bowl, drizzle the vegetable cubes with a generous amount of olive oil. Sprinkle in your favorite seasonings, such as garlic powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Give it a good toss to coat all the vegetables evenly with the oil and seasonings.

3

Roast until golden and tender

Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. Pop it into the preheated oven and let them roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are tender when pierced with a fork. Give them a gentle toss halfway through to ensure even browning.

4

Prepare the salad dressing

While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Adjust the seasonings to your taste.

5

Assemble your flavorful salad

Once the roasted vegetables are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. In a large salad bowl, combine your favorite greens, such as mixed baby greens or arugula. Add the roasted root vegetables on top. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Voila! Your flavorful roasted root vegetable salad is ready to be enjoyed.
