Ingredients

Vegetables

• 2 beets (preferably 1 red and 1 golden), peeled and chopped into 1-inch chunks

• 1 large carrot, roll-cut into 1-inch chunks

• 3 parsnips, chopped into 1-inch chunks

• 1 medium sweet potato, chopped into 1-inch chunks

• 1 turnip, chopped into 1-inch chunks

• Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage

• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Crispy Sage + Sage Oil

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

• 10 fresh sage leaves

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Sheet 1: Add beets and carrots.

   Sheet 2: Add parsnips, sweet potato, and turnip.

3. Drizzle both trays with olive oil. Sprinkle with rosemary, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat and spread evenly.

4. Roast for 25–50 minutes, until tender and browned on the edges.

   • Parsnips, sweet potato, and turnip will cook faster.

   • Beets and carrots may need more time.

5. Make crispy sage:

   • Line a plate with paper towels.

   • Heat olive oil in a small saucepan until bubbling.

   • Add sage leaves and cook for about 1 minute until crisp.

   • Transfer to the towel-lined plate to drain.

   • Save the infused sage oil for serving.
