Roasted vegetable recipes are so easy to prepare they make dinner a breeze. I make them often because you can just pop them in the oven and go off to do something else while dinner bakes away.
Cut parsnips and carrots on the diagonal into 1/4 inch slices. Cut potato and sweet potato into 1/4 inch slices. Cut squash or turnip into 1/2 inch slices.
Place all vegetables and garlic in a large roasting pan. Add olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss well. Cover with a lid or foil.
Bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake, stirring occasionally, for an other 30 to 40 minutes or until vegetables are tender, golden brown and still slightly crispy.
