Oven-Roasted Vegetables with Herbs

 

This is a comfort food in every sense. Not only are roasted

vegetables easy to prepare, but they are as satisfying as seeing an

old friend. As alternatives to the ingredients listed, consider

white potatoes, winter squash, and sage. " Soft " vegetables such as

summer squash or mushrooms also roast but need only 30 minutes to

cook.

 

3 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 " pieces

3 carrots, peeled, halved crosswise, then lengthwise

2 onions, peeled and cut into 8 wedges

1 garlic head, separated into cloves and peeled

1/4 cup minced fresh rosemary leaves

1/4 cup minced fresh thyme leaves

3 tablespoons olive oil

 

Heat the oven to 400° F. In a large bowl, toss together the sweet

potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Drizzle on

the oil and toss again. Spread the mixture on a large baking sheet

and bake, stirring occasionally for 1 hour, or until golden and

tender. Add salt and pepper to taste, transfer to a platter, and

serve
