Roasted Root Vegetables


Any root vegetables would work great in this roast, including sweet potatoes, onions, rutabagas, parsnips and radishes. Radishes have become one of my new favorite vegetables; they are like onions, in that they are super low-carb, but they have a pepper flavor like cabbage.

2-3 sweet potatoes, diced
1 large onion, diced
2 cups radishes, quartered
2 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper
1 tbsp dried thyme

Heat oven to 400 and mist a large cooking sheet with olive oil spray. Drizzle olive oil over vegetables, then toss with salt, pepper and dried thyme. Cook 45 minutes, tossing frequently.
