Prep Time 15 minutes mins
Cook Time 20 minutes mins
- 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
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.
