Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and sliced into ½-inch rounds

Seasonings & Oil

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Optional Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow for easy cleanup.
  2. Toss Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the peeled and chopped sweet potatoes and sliced carrots. Add olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil mixture.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes and carrots out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. This ensures even roasting and helps the vegetables caramelize beautifully.
  4. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes. Make sure to toss the vegetables halfway through the cooking time to promote uniform browning and cooking. The vegetables are done when they are tender and golden on the edges.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the roasted sweet potatoes and carrots from the oven. Optionally, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a fresh burst of color and flavor. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
