Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Onions & Beets
A Colorful, Flavorful Side Dish That Brightens Any Meal
Some recipes stay with us even when the written version disappears — the colors, the smells, the comforting warmth coming out of the oven. This simple trio of sweet potatoes, onions, and beets, roasted together with a drizzle of olive oil and a handful of pantry spices, is exactly that kind of dish: rustic, wholesome, vibrant, and wonderfully delicious.
This side dish is naturally sweet from the veggies themselves, beautifully caramelized at the edges, and infused with savory garlic and onion flavors. It pairs well with almost anything — roasted meats, fish, vegetarian mains, or holiday dinners — and it looks just as good as it tastes.
