Humble and thrifty root vegetables get a simple flavor boost from fresh garlic and a little salt, but feel free to add your favorite fresh or dried herbs or even a pinch of ancho chili powder to change things up a bit.

Ingredients

  • lbs. root vegetables of choice (i.e., parsnips, rutabagas, beets, carrots, sweet potatoes, etc.)
  • 1½ Tbsp. avocado oil or oil of choice
  • 3 cloves of garlic, pressed or finely minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste (flaky sea salt is our favorite)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425℉.
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  3. Wash, peel and dry your vegetables of choice. Using a large knife, carefully cut each vegetable into similar sized pieces (about ¼-inch thick).
  4. Place vegetables on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and toss with oil.
  5. Sprinkle garlic over vegetables and arrange them in a single layer and sprinkle with salt.
