Roasted Root Vegetables: Russet potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and onions simply seasoned with salt and pepper, drizzled with olive oil and then roasted to perfection!
Looking for an easy, nutritional side dish that pairs well with any meat entree? These Roasted Root Vegetables are perfect!
I know, I know…. another potato recipe?! Yep, and this one even has sweet potatoes too.
The size of potatoes and carrots can vary greatly so if you don’t have a kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients just do it at the grocery store. You can also just estimate, or prepare the amount you will need for your meal.
There are a couple of articles that address how to estimate what a pound of potatoes and sweet potatoes look like. You can find them at The Kichn and food.answers.com.
I serve these Roasted Root Vegetables with meaty main dishes such as these Mini Meat Loaf or this Lemon-Herb Roasted Chicken. I just adjust the cooking time to accommodate both dishes.
