Roasted Vegetables are my absolute favorite yet I didn’t discover this technique until a few years ago. My carrot harvest this year was the best I’ve ever had, despite Joe’s (my 12 year old Golden Retriever) attempts to steal the carrots out of the basket.
I found this wonderful recipe which did not call for apples, but in later versions I added the apples and loved the added sweet/tart bites.
SWEET POTATOES & CARROTS WITH APPLE CIDER THYME
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 medium-large carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch rounds
1-2 apples, peeled and chopped in large pieces
1 small red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 whole garlic cloves
1/4 cup apple cider
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme
salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Place cut sweet potatoes, carrots, red onion and garlic cloves on a baking sheet and spread them in a single layer.
- In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider, olive oil, thyme, salt and pepper. Drizzle mixture all over vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
- Roast for 35-45 minutes, until vegetables are caramelized to your liking. Serve immediately.
