Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 small red beets, peeled and quartered
  • 2 small golden beets, peeled and quartered
  • 2 small turnips, scrubbed and quartered
  • 1 sweet potato, scrubbed, halved lengthwise, and cut into 1 ½” pieces
  • 1 red onion, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 1 bunch long multi-colored carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise
  • Olive oil, for drizzling
  • Kosher salt, to taste
