Step 1

Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 400 degrees (200 C).

Step 2

Prep vegetables: Wash turnips and carrots and peel, if desired. Cut stems from turnips and cut into halves or quarters. Cut stems from carrots and slice diagonally into 1-2 inch (3-5 cm) pieces.

Step 3

Roast vegetables: Arrange the carrots and turnips on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, tossing the vegetables to completely cover with oil and sprinkle with sliced garlic, chopped fresh (or dried) herbs, salt, and pepper. Place sheet pan in the oven and roast for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to roast on all sides.

Step 4

Serve vegetables: Remove pan from oven, arrange vegetables on a plate and serve as a side dish or as a salad topping.
