Roasted Root Vegetables
I have been, or can be if you click on a link and make a purchase, compensated via a cash payment, gift, or something else of value for writing this post. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
Last week I shared Roast Pork with Pears and Craisins as a great dish for the cold weather. This week I’m sharing what has become a favorite side dish during the winter months for us ~ Roasted Root Vegetables.
This was part of a weekly food blogging challenge with the week’s ingredient being beets!
Now, I will share that the first time I made this dish (as part of the Beachbody Ultimate Reset program), the boys gave me strange looks about the purple pieces interspersed with the other root vegetables.
But, now, they have all grown to love the beets.
And, I love that it is super easy to make!
I’ve made this dish with and without onion. Both are good.

Roasted Root Vegetables
Easy to make medley of root vegetables roasted in the oven.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch of beets (about 3 good sized), peeled and cubed
- 3 or 4 carrots, peeled and cubed
- 1/4 to 1/2 onion, diced
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- olive or melted coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Make sure that all the cubed vegetables are approximately the same size so they cook evenly.
- In a large bowl, lightly coat the vegetables with oil (olive or coconut oil is preferred.)
- Transfer to a baking sheet (jelly roll pans lined with parchment paper or a Silpat mat are perfect) and bake 45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
Does your family eat beets on a regular basis or is it a vegetable that seems foreign and uninviting?
Do you have a favorite way of adding beets to your cooking?
I’ve heard about shredding them to place in a chocolate cake and just might give it a try sometime soon!

Looks good! Thanks for the recipe.
This looks so good! I’ve only had beets on top of a salad but I can imagine they would taste really good roasted.
The roasted root vegetables look delicious and are very healthy for you.
I’d have to pull the sweet potatoes to keep my hubby happy – I could put turnips in for him. I roast our vegetables all the time – I think it’s the best way to cook them.
The sweet potatoes are my boys favorite, but I agree that substituting other root vegetables will work.
