Oven-roasting brings out the natural sweetness of many vegetables, and this is particularly true in the case of root vegetables. You can vary the vegetables suggested here; for example, if you prefer not to use beets, use more of one of the other types of vegetables; and if you don't care for parsnips, try golden potatoes.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Prepare all the vegetables as directed, making sure to slice everything into fairly even thicknesses. Place in a parchment-lined roasting pan.
Drizzle with with the olive oil. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so. The vegetables should be tender on the inside and touched with golden brown on the outside.

Transfer to a covered serving container and keep warm until serving, then garnish with fresh rosemary and/or thyme leaves.
