Ingredients:

2 medium beets
2 large carrots
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp rosemary leaves
1/2 tsp thyme leaf
1/2 tsp rubbed sage leaf
1/4 tsp salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Directions:

For this recipe you'll need a large shallow glass or enamel roasting pan
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
Scrub the carrots and beets and trim the tops and bottoms
Slice the carrots diagonally in 1/2 inch slicies
Slice each beet in 6 wedges
Place beets in a bowl
Place carrots in another bowl
Sprinkle the carrots and beets with oil and herbs
Stir each vegetable to coat with oil and herbs
Arrange carrots on one side of baking pan, beets on the other side, in a single layer
Cover with a lid, or foil, and bake for 25 minutes
Remove lid, increase heat to 450 degrees, bake another 20 - 30 min., until tender
Check veggies after 10 minutes, turn with fork or tongs if needed for even roasting
Before serving, gently mix the beets and carrots together

Cooking Tips:
Place the baking rack in the middle of the oven. If your oven is very hot, reduce the heat to 375 degrees. Using a large shallow glass baking dish will allow the veggies to roast more evenly, and make it easier to turn them.

Serving Suggestion:
Roasted carrots & beets with black beans and greens over quinoa or couscous is a delicious hearty meal!
