Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ pounds beets
  • 1 ¾ pounds sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400° and spray a large rimmed baking sheet liberally with non-stick cooking spray, or line it with parchment paper.
  • Peel and chop the beets, then toss them with half of the olive oil, salt, and pepper in a medium to large bowl.
  • Spread them on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.
  • While the beets roast, peel and chop the onion and sweet potatoes. Toss them with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. 
  • Add them to the baking sheet with the partially roasted beets and continue roasting for 35 minutes, or until all vegetables are fork-tender.

Notes

I use about 1 ¾ pounds of both beets and sweet potatoes. Beets usually come 3 in a bunch at my grocery store, and I like to match the amount of sweet potatoes so the veggies roast evenly and there’s a good balance of flavors.
If you want to keep the beet color from tinting the sweet potatoes and onions, give the bowl a quick rinse and wipe it dry with a paper towel before tossing the remaining vegetables.
This is a lot of beets and sweet taters, so they may not fit in a single layer on one sheet pan, and that’s okay with me. For crispier edges, use a very large pan or divide them between two smaller pans.
