4 cups mixed root vegetables (carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, beets), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard (verify GF) Shop
0.5 tsp salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic, minced (optional)

Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the prepared mixed root vegetables with the extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Ensure each piece is lightly coated for even roasting.
2 Spread the seasoned root vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for approximately 30-35 minutes, tossing halfway through, or until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork and have developed caramelized edges and a slightly sweet aroma.
3 While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, gluten-free Dijon mustard, and minced garlic (if using) until smooth.
4 Once the root vegetables are roasted to perfection, transfer them back to the large bowl. Drizzle the prepared lemon-Dijon dressing over the warm vegetables. Gently toss to coat everything evenly, allowing the flavors to meld.
5 Taste the roasted root vegetables and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed. Serve immediately as a warm and flavorful side dish.

Tips & Notes

Cut the denser vegetables (carrots, parsnips, beets) slightly smaller than the sweet potatoes so everything is tender at the same time.
Toss the beets with their share of the oil and seasoning in a separate bowl, and keep them on their own corner of the sheet; they bleed red onto lighter vegetables.
Large parsnips have a woody core. Cut out the tough center before cubing.
