Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Put all vegetables (pieces should be all around the same size), spices and herbs in a large baking dish, drizzle with oil, and toss them with your hands to coat them evenly.
  3. Put the baking dish in the preheated oven (or pour out onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet) and cook, stirring the vegetables occasionally, until they are tender and golden brown, about 45 minutes.

Try roasting any other vegetables you enjoy. Beet, Brussels sprouts or sweet potato work well.
