Roasted root vegetables are always a treat. The natural sugar in the vegetables caramelizes during roasting and creates an incredibly sweet-savory flavor. I like to use six root vegetables for this dish, but you can use less and just increase more of one kind your family prefers.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

In large bowl, combine vegetables, garlic, oil, thyme, salt and pepper; toss to evenly coat. Transfer coated vegetables to baking dish and bake until tender and browned, 35 to 40 minutes.
