Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 4 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 medium beets, peeled and diced
  • 2 medium turnips, peeled and chopped
  • 1 large red onion, sliced into wedges
  • 3 tablespoons ghee, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh herbs (optional): rosemary, thyme, or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel and chop your carrots, parsnips, beets, and turnips into roughly equal-sized pieces. Slice the red onion into wedges.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted ghee, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Add the chopped vegetables to the bowl and toss until every piece is coated evenly with the ghee mixture.
  5. Spread the veggies in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Ensure there’s space between pieces for proper roasting.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, flipping the veggies halfway through. They should be golden brown and fork-tender when done.
  7. Remove from the oven and taste to adjust seasoning. Sprinkle fresh herbs over the top for a burst of color and added flavor.
