06 - Serve hot, optionally garnished with additional rosemary.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The edges get crispy and sweet while the insides stay tender, so you get the best texture in every bite.
  • It feels like a restaurant-quality side dish but genuinely takes no skill, just time in the oven.
  • One pan means you're not drowning in dishes, and the rosemary smell alone makes your kitchen feel alive.
02 -
  • Don't crowd the pan or they'll steam and turn mushy instead of getting those crispy, caramelized edges—use two baking sheets if you need to.
  • The beets will bleed a little and stain everything red, which is totally fine and actually looks beautiful, but if you're worried about it roast them separately or just embrace the purple hue.
03 -
  • Toss the vegetables with olive oil first, then the seasonings—the oil helps everything stick and roast evenly instead of drying out.
  • If you're serving this for a crowd, prep everything the morning of and keep it covered in the fridge, then just roast it whenever you need it.
