Oven Roasted Root Vegetables Recipe with Rosemary

Move over holiday mashed potatoes and gravy. This Oven Roasted Root Vegetables recipe with rosemary will be your new favorite starchy side dish on your table.

For holiday dinners and weeknight meals, I like to prepare a mix of roasted fall vegetables with fresh rosemary, garlic, and a drizzle of olive oil. This is a super easy side dish to make with a variety of main entrees; pork, chicken, beef, bacon. Yeah, bacon! It's a food group in our house. But this isn't an article on bacon, it's oven roasted root vegetables with rosemary and garlic.

Roasted Fall Vegetables

Let's talk a little about the types of root vegetables that are great in this recipe. Fall vegetables tend to be starchier root vegetables that are perfect for high heat oven roasting.

For this roasted side dish, you can use any combination of these fall vegetables like:

• Red skinned potatoes
• Sweet potatoes
• Carrots
• Parsnips
• Onions
• Red beets.
• Fingerling potatoes
• Purple yams
• Rutabaga
• Turnip

There really is no right or wrong combination to this side dish. For us, what we use comes down to what's available in the store.

If you don't like rosemary, substitute another herb like thyme instead. When you are ready, you just toss everything together and throw it on a sheet pan, and cook in the oven. It's great with a variety of main entrées. Plus these oven-roasted root vegetables can also be prepared ahead of time. It can be cooked early and allowed to rest for up to 4 hours at room temperature. Then reheated just before serving.
