Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb carrots
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • optional fresh thyme or rosemary

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup.
  • In a roomy bowl, toss the carrots, Brussels sprouts and sweet potato cubes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until every piece is lightly coated.
  • Whisk together the balsamic vinegar and honey or maple syrup, then drizzle over the vegetables. Toss again to ensure the glaze is evenly distributed.
  • Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared sheet. If using herbs, sprinkle them over the top.
  • Roast for about 20–25 minutes, then stir, rotate the pan, and roast for another 10–15 minutes or until the edges are caramelized and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Remove from the oven and give a final quick toss to coat with any glaze left on the sheet. Taste and adjust salt if needed. Serve warm.
