Ingredients You Need
Any combination of vegetable works for this recipe, although we pull together a few of our favorites here. Simple seasonings and honey are the only other things you need.
- Vegetables: This recipe uses carrots, parsnips, Brussels sprouts, beets and red onion to create a delicious medley of vegetables. Feel free to swap out with any other vegetables you have in your fridge including asparagus, red bell pepper, potatoes, broccoli, butternut squash, zucchini or mushrooms.
- Honey: The honey adds a subtle sweetness and slightly caramelizes the vegetables. Heat the honey in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds. If you can’t do honey, you can substitute with maple syrup, although the flavor will be slightly different.

How to Make Honey Roasted Vegetables
This low maintenance recipe comes together with only a few simple steps!
- Prepare oven and baking sheet: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and set aside.
- Toss together all ingredients: Place the vegetables in a large bowl. Drizzle with honey, olive oil, thyme, salt and pepper, then toss to combine. The honey should be smooth and runny. If it’s not, warm it slightly before mixing in with the other ingredients.
- Transfer vegetables to a baking sheet: Scatter the vegetables evenly into a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast vegetables: Roast veggies in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, flipping once or twice during the cooking time, until vegetables are fork-tender and browned on the edges.
Garnish the roasted vegetables with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
Recipe Tips
- Chop vegetables into even pieces – This ensures that the veggies cook evenly. They should be roughly 1/2-inch chunks.
- Flip everything halfway through baking – This prevents them from burning or sticking to the sheet pan.
- Prep ahead to save time – Chop all of the vegetables in advance to save time. You can also prepare the entire dish and then store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven prior to serving.
- Try a different combination of veggies! Switch up the veggies during different seasons. In the spring or summer try asparagus, bell peppers and potatoes. In the winter try sweet potato, broccoli and carrots. Or try all roasted root vegetables. The options are endless.
- Double the recipe to feed a crowd – You can easily double the recipe to serve a larger crowd. This makes it a great choice for the holidays.
