Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 4 medium firm carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 4 medium Yukon Gold or red potatoes, peeled or washed and cut into chunks
  • 1 large sweet yellow onion, peeled and quartered
  • 6–8 whole garlic cloves, skin on

Seasonings & Herbs

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, thyme, or parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep the Vegetables: Wash and peel the carrots and potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized chunks for even roasting. Peel and quarter the onion. Separate the garlic cloves from the bulb, leaving the skin on to roast inside.
  2. Toss with Olive Oil and Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine all the cut vegetables and whole garlic cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs. Toss gently using your hands or a spoon until everything is well coated.
  3. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Spread the vegetable mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased foil. Make sure the pieces are not overcrowded to promote crispiness and caramelization.
  4. Roast in the Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Roast the vegetables for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring or flipping halfway through to ensure even browning. Potatoes should turn golden and carrots become tender while garlic softens.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the rich aroma and delicious combination of roasted carrots, potatoes, onion, and garlic.

Notes

  • Chop vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking and texture.
  • Roast at a high temperature for crispy edges and caramelization.
  • Stir halfway through roasting to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
  • Use fresh herbs before roasting for aroma, or sprinkle fresh herbs after roasting for brightness.
  • Roast garlic whole in the skin to soften cloves into a sweet, mellow paste.
