Ingredients
  

2 cups carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks

2 cups parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks

2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

1 cup red onion, cut into wedges

¼ cup olive oil

¼ cup pure maple syrup

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon thyme, dried or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and red onion.

      Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.

        Toss Vegetables: Pour the dressing over the mixed root vegetables. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure there's enough space between the vegetables for even roasting.

            Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, tossing the vegetables halfway through the cooking time, until they are tender and caramelized on the edges.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color.

                Enjoy: Serve warm as a delightful side dish to your favorite protein or as a hearty vegetarian main!
