Roasted Root Veggies – the Perfect Thanksgiving Side
I am absolutely obsessed with roasted veggies! Every Sunday night I roast a big batch of vegetables to have on hand for the week. My favorite vegetables are root vegetables – carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes – you name it! I always assumed roasted vegetables are such a basic and easy dish to make that everyone knows how to do it. However, I’m often surprised at how many messages I receive from people asking me how I roast my vegetables.
I simply wash and cut up my veggies, lightly coat them in olive oil or avocado oil and sprinkle them with pink sea salt and pepper. I then roast them at 400 degrees fahrenheit for approximately 30 minutes. They come out delicious every time – never dry and full of flavor. Be careful not to use too much oil or they can get soggy.
These roasted root vegetables make the perfect healthy side dish for Thanksgiving. They are such a crowd-pleaser and something everyone can enjoy. Be sure to make extra so you have lots of leftovers for the week!
