Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb beets, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tbsp avocado oil (or other cooking oil)
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 2 tsp honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and prepare a large baking sheet. Parchment paper is optional.
- Add the chopped beets and carrots to the baking sheet (I like to keep them separated so that the beets don’t dye the carrots red).
- Drizzle with avocado oil and season with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Toss to coat everything well.
- Roast the vegetables in the oven for 20 minutes.
- While they’re roasting, whisk together the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, and honey until emulsified.
- After 20 minutes in the oven, drizzle the beets and carrots with the vinaigrette, toss to coat, and roast in the oven for another 10 minutes.
- Serve the veggies sprinkled with finely chopped fresh parsley and some flaky sea salt and extra black pepper if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
Storing: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
Reheating: I recommend reheating the veggies in a non-stick pan on the stove with a splash of water until warmed through. Alternatively, you can also reheat them in the oven at 350°F, but I usually don’t do this because it risks them getting dried out more.
