These maple and cumin roasted root vegetables make the perfect accompaniment to any cozy winter dinner. I used carrots, parsnips and sweet potato but feel free to use any vegetables you like. This recipe works great for brussel sprouts!
A note about roasting vegetables: The most critical factors when roasting veggies are heat and space. High heat is key, I always roast at 400+ degrees. If you’re lucky enough to have a convection setting on your oven use it! Secondly, vegetables need plenty of space to properly caramelize. If they are too crowded, they will steam which is not what you want. Split the vegetables onto two trays if you need to give them plenty of space.
