Cuisine: American
Serves: Serves 6-8
Ingredients
- 2 Yukon potatoes
- 2 Red Rose Potatoes
- 12 carrots
- 3 yellow beets
- 3 red beets
- 2 Delicata squash
- 10 sprigs fresh thyme
- Sea salt to taste
- ¼ C extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚
- Wash and peel all of the vegetables. Cut into medium thick slices and make sure they're dry
- Place everything except the red beets into a large roasting pan.
- Pour the olive oil on top, sprinkle liberally with salt.
- Mix the oil into the vegetables and lay the sprigs of thyme on top
- Place the red beets into a single layer on a baking sheet and drizzle with oil and salt. Note: The reason you do this is that you don't want the red to bleed onto the other vegetables.
- Place everything into the oven and set the timer for 45 minutes. At 45 minutes, stir the vegetables to rotate them. Don't be too vigorous as you don't want to break the pieces up.
- At 60 minutes, check for doneness - if soft, then you can turn off the oven and let them sit for another 20-30 minutes, or serve immediately.
