As soon as grilling season ends I'm happy to turn on my oven and this recipe is going in it! Take this side dish to a potluck and I bet someone will ask for the recipe.

I serve some variation of these vegetables with any cut of meat. Whether it's a plain roast chicken, pork tenderloin, pesto meat loaf or breaded pork chops, the seasoning for this recipe can be adjusted to go with just about anything.

Get The Tools

Every home cook needs a few tools and there aren’t many to make roasted vegetables.

Buy baking sheets in pairs and find two that fit side by side in your oven. You'll be glad you thought of this on many occasions.
Buy parchment paper on a roll or as parchment paper sheets to line baking sheets, make clean up easy and it can be recycled.
A reusable option and a good investment are the non-stick, food safe baking mats.

Top Tip for Beets

Beets are often referred to as an under appreciated vegetable. I think that is because they turn everything nearby red, including your hands. So here's how to but don't overlook them.

Roast beets in one corner of the baking sheet. When they're cooked toss them in with your vegetable combination and serve.
Beets can also be roasted separately in foil packages. I always roast a few extra to enjoy my Salad with Beets, Goat Cheese and Pine Nuts or this Greek Salad with yogurt and walnuts.
Beets take the longest to cook so cut them smaller than the other root vegetables so they are all cooked at the same time.
