Sean's Mommy's Roasted Root Vegetables

A hearty medley of butternut squash, carrots, sweet potato, rutabaga, parsnips, and turnips is tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roasted at high heat until tender with deeply caramelized edges. The result balances earthy notes with natural sweetness and a toasty finish. Serve this side dish with roasted meats, holiday spreads, or cozy weeknight dinners.
