This Roasted Potatoes, Carrots and Beets recipe is the perfect way to roast your root vegetables. Seasoned with balsamic vinegar and rosemary.
These roasted veggies might be one of my favourite things I have ever made.
That is, in the savoury creations I have made.
I made these veggies 3 times in the past week, because once I get obsessed with something, I will keep making it. I don’t even get sick of it. And since I bought a 10 lb bag of beets, a 10 lb bag of carrots and two 10 ob bags of potatoes, I think I am doing myself a favour.
We first start with one of my FAVOURITE flavour combos: olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Seriously, it is so good. As a kid, I used to make a mixture of half olive oil, half balsamic vinegar and dip french bread in it. It was my after school snack, and it was truly magical.
For these veggies, it isn’t half and half because we need a lot more olive oil to help with the roasting process, but I urge you to try the olive oil/balsamic vinegar thing with your bread. LIFE CHANGER!
Next up, cut up your veggies.
You guys.This is honestly the hardest step of this entire recipe. And it really isn’t hard: just a little time consuming.
You could use nugget potatoes and cut them in half if you have them, but since I wanted to use up at least SOME of the potatoes I have in my pantry, I cut full sized white and red potatoes into 1 inch cube like pieces.
Mix your veggies with the olive oil and balsamic mixture, and dump it into a baking sheet.
Now for my favourite part. When you go from this:
To the roasted version (see picture below!). When I make a pan full of this for me and John as a side, we will split it between us. No leftovers. The main dish has nothing on these roasted veggies. I will rather finish these roasted veggies than my usual chicken/pork that I make along with them.
I guarantee, once you make this once, you won’t want to stop making it. Try it, you won’t regret it.

Would you suggest boiling the beats(from garden) or potato’s before chopping and roasting?
atasteofmadness
I have never boiled them, and they taste great without the extra effort 😉

I STILL love dipping bread in olive oil with balsam!! It’s one of my fave things to eat haha. Roasted veggies are so yummy, you forget you’re even eating something healthy!!

I just haven’t bought balsamic vinegar in sooo long! It is so good!
heather (delicious not gorgeous)
roasted veggies are the best!! i usually just do olive oil and balsamic, but rosemary and parsley are super good too (:
atasteofmadness
It is such a good combo!

OK, true confession time – I’ve never been a fan of beats but I’m so intrigued by your recipe, I’m willing to give them another chance. Your recipe looks and sounds really friggin delicious!

First of all – YES to olive oil and balsamic vinegar with bread!! SOOOOO good, right?? And YES to roasted veggies! I can see why you had them so much lately. Roasting is my favourite way to enjoy them and I love the combo of all three here 🙂

My husband says yuck, beets taste like mud, so I bought the ones colored like potatoes! I want to add parsley, smoked sausage, some other veg that I bought, I can’t remember! What do you think? Any suggestions? TY!!!
atasteofmadness
I think that sounds amazing! This recipe is super versatile, so add in what you have!!

Just roasted the veggies and sneaked a taste before serving. Absolutely delicious. Not sure I’ll ever tire of these.
atasteofmadness
This is probably one of the recipes I make most often. I am so glad you like it!! 🙂
Astra
Going to make tonight… looks great as I usually roast veggies. But really not keen on beets. Can ipre- marinate these like I usually do with my other roasting veggies? I find it just makes flavor that much better 🙂 and hopefully we will all like the beets too!
Thank you!
atasteofmadness
Yes you can!! Let me know how it goes! 🙂
Astra
Tasted great! Little watery… so had to mop up some of that before baking(think that was the beets???) And wouldn’t put as many onions in next time(family aren’t really onion fans) I also roasted Kabocha squash along side and added together at end… fantastic!! And yes the beets were good for those of us that don’t normally eat beets, thank you 😁
atasteofmadness
Yay! I am so glad you liked it!

If I batch bake these veg is it something that could be frozen and reheated? Sounds delicious.
atasteofmadness
I have never tried doing that, but perhaps? However I am not sure it would keep the same texture.
