Roasted Root Vegetables

Take care not to crowd the vegetables, or they will steam rather than brown. You’ll also need to toss them periodically so they’ll stay coated in oil. Add leftover vegetables to a salad, or use them to top the Roasted Root-Vegetable Pizza (page 45).

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 8

Ingredients

1 butternut squash (2 pounds), peeled, seeded, and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 pounds new potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
1 pound red onions, peeled and quartered lengthwise
1 pound carrots, halved lengthwise if thick, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
5 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 450°F, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Divide vegetables and garlic evenly between two rimmed baking sheets; drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine, then spread in single layers.

    Step 2

    Roast until vegetables are tender and beginning to brown, 40 to 50 minutes, tossing vegetables and rotating sheets from top to bottom halfway through. Serve hot or at room temperature.

  2. Storing Leftovers

    Step 3

    Let vegetables cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container; refrigerate up to 3 days.
