Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4-5 different root vegetables (such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and beets)
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or sage) for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash, peel, and thinly slice the root vegetables using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife. Ensure uniform thickness for even cooking.
- Grease a baking dish and line it with parchment paper.
- Start arranging the sliced vegetables in layers, alternating colors for an appealing presentation. Drizzle olive oil between the layers and season with salt and pepper as you go.
- Once you've filled the baking dish, cover it with foil and place it in the preheated oven.
- Bake for approximately 45-50 minutes or until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of baking to allow the top layer to crisp up.
- Once done, let it rest for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh herbs, if desired.
