Colourful root vegetables, fresh thyme and a little olive oil – sometimes the simplest ingredients make the most delicious dishes. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the vegetables, leaving them tender and full of flavour. An easy and tasty side dish that pairs well with meat, fish and vegetarian meals.
Everything is prepared in one ovenproof glass dish, which can also be brought straight to the table for serving.

Oven-roasted root vegetables recipe

Cooking time: approx. 40–50 minutes · Oven temperature: 200°C

Ingredients

  • 1 beetroot
  • 2 Chioggia beetroots (candy-striped beets)
  • 2 golden beetroots
  • 1 sweet potato
  • 1–2 red onions
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Fresh thyme
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  2. Peel the beetroots and sweet potato, then cut them into roughly equal-sized pieces. Peel the red onions and cut them into wedges.
  3. Place all the vegetables in an ovenproof glass dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper and fresh thyme.
  4. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with oil and seasoning.
  5. Roast in the middle of the oven for approximately 40–50 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and lightly golden. Turn them once during cooking if needed.

Tips for extra flavour

Add a few lemon wedges to the vegetables, or squeeze over some fresh lemon juice before placing the dish in the oven. The fresh acidity complements the natural sweetness of the roasted root vegetables.

You can also vary the vegetables depending on what you have available. Use more of one type of beetroot and less of another – this recipe is easy to adapt to the season and your own taste.
