Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 Yukon gold potatoes peeled and cut into wedges
  • 2 Parsnips peeled and cut into wedges
  • 3 to 4 large carrots peeled with tops snipped off
  • 1 Turnip peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 yellow onions peeled and cut lengthwise into quarters
  • 1 fresh fennel stalks cut lengthwise into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary chopped
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 425 F.
  • Lightly oil a large roasting pan.
  • In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, parsnips, carrots and turnip with 2 tablespoons of the oil to coat.
  • Spread in the prepared pan and bake until the vegetables begin to soften, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss the onion wedges with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, keeping the wedges in tact as much as possible.
  • Remove the roasting pan from the oven and turn the veggies over with a wooden spoon.
  • Sprinkle the thyme, rosemary and couple pinches of salt and pepper over the veggies and gently mix.
  • Nestle the onion wedges and fennel among the veggies in the pan.
  • Place back in the oven and roast until the veggies are very tender and their edges are slightly browned, about 30 minutes longer.
  • Remove from oven, taste, and add a pinch more salt, if needed.  Serve at once.
