  • 1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 purple-top turnip, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 rutabaga, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 large red onion, peeled, with root end left intact, cut into 1/4-inch wedges
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon (3 grams) coarse kosher salt, plus more for seasoning (see note)
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, plus more for serving
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2-3 tablespoons fresh rosemary, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and set a rack in the lower-middle part of the oven.
  2. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss together the carrots, parsnips, sweet potato, turnip, rutabaga, onion, olive oil, and salt.
  3. Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  4. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the balsamic and honey and toss to coat. Roast for another 10-15 minutes until the veggies are fully tender and caramelized in places.

Notes

This dish is highly adaptable—use any winter veggies you have on hand. Here are some alternatives: beets, radishes, potatoes, squash, kohlrabi, sunchokes, or celeriac.

Cut these veggies any way your heart desires. Aim for similar sizes rather than shapes. I opted for irregular shapes, roughly bite-sized, measuring about 1 inch by 2 inches.
