Why this recipe works
One of my favourite parts of fall and winter is the food! Root vegetables are in their peak season and perfect for some nice roasted vegetable recipes. It’s great for any day of the week, but some Christmas Roast Vegetables are a way to add some serious colour to your Christmas dinner table!
These baked root vegetables are simple, healthy, and so delicious! Another great thing about this baked veggies recipe is that it is so easy to adjust! You can always get creative and add anything you wish to it.
This was inspired by my Smashed Brussels Sprouts recipe, and pairs well with this amazing Baked Christmas Salmon. But if you’re looking for Mediterranean Vegetables then check out that recipe.

Ingredients to make Roasted Root Vegetables
- Multi Coloured Carrots – I use thin carrots, but if using thicker carrots, slice into quarters.
- Parsnips – should be quartered. If you have some spare try my Parsnip Soup.
- Sweet Potato – needs to be sliced into wedges.
- Beetroot – Be sure to wash them first and then slice into halves. If you have any spare try making my Beetroot Soup or Beetroot Salad in the summer!
- Garlic – Take one large bulb and slice it down the middle.
- Fresh Rosemary – will be chopped and placed on top.
- Olive Oil – gives a great flavour to the vegetables and crisps them up nicely.
- Salt and Pepper – are the royalty of the kitchen, bringing out the flavour of each vegetable perfectly.

Substitutions
- Vegetables – This is an incredibly versatile recipe. If you have veg you want to add, remove, or replace, it is super easy to do!
- Fresh Rosemary – If you have a different preferred herb or seasoning, try it out. If you don’t have fresh herbs, you could also use dried herbs.
- Olive Oil – Any oil with a high smoke point will work great.
Variations
- Spicy – If you prefer a spicier side, toss vegetables with olive oil and some cumin and paprika before laying them out on the roasting tray.
- Deluxe – If you’d like to make a gourmet gratin platter, top with some vegan cheese and broil for the last couple of minutes. Serve alongside a bowl of fresh salad or my Hasselback Potatoes.
- Kid friendly – Adjust the veg to your kids’ liking. For instance, if you’ve got a carrot fan in the house, you may want to make more carrots! Another way to make it more kid-friendly is to swap the rosemary and salt for some maple syrup. Mix it with the olive oil and toss the vegetables in it for some sweeter veggies.

Recipe FAQs
If you’re wondering how to roast vegetables in oven, you’ve come to the right place! It’s super simple to do! Prep your vegetables, season them, and bake them!
One of my favourite roast vegetable combos is a collection of root vegetables. I love combining carrots, parsnips, sweet potato, beetroot, onion, and garlic. I top it with oil, rosemary, and salt for a delicious side!
I think the tastiest and easiest method is to bake them in the oven! Chop them up and lay them on a sheet pan. Top with oil and herbs before baking.
Absolutely! Prep the vegetables and then cook at around 200C for 20 minutes or so.
