Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 3 medium carrots, sliced into coins or sticks
  • 1 large red onion, quartered
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Optional: 1/4 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Halve the Brussels sprouts and remove any damaged outer leaves. Peel and slice the carrots into coins or sticks. Quarter the red onion, separating the layers slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepped vegetables. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
  4. Add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme to the bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
  5. Spread the veggies evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are in a single layer for even roasting.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through. The vegetables should be tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.
  7. Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the veggies with 1-2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. Toss gently to coat.
  8. Optional: Sprinkle with chopped pecans or walnuts and dried cranberries for added crunch and flavor.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy your Festive Roasted Veggie Medley with your Thanksgiving feast!
