Can I use other root vegetables with this method?

Yes. The article suggests using the same method for turnips, parsnips, or sweet potatoes, and it should also work well for similar firm root vegetables cut to an even size.

Do I need to cut the carrots before roasting?

Not necessarily. The recipe says you can roast the carrots whole, but larger carrots may be cut in half so they cook more evenly with the beets.

How do I know when the vegetables are done?

They should be fairly tender and pierced easily with a fork after 45 minutes to 1 hour of roasting.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. Roast the vegetables ahead, then refrigerate and reheat in a hot oven until warmed through. They’re best served fresh, but they hold up well for meal prep.

Can I substitute a different seasoning?

Yes. Any sweet-savory seasoning blend that complements carrots and beets should work, though the maple garlic flavor is what gives this recipe its signature taste.

What pan works best for roasting?

Either a sheet tray or a cast-iron skillet works well. Use a pan that lets the vegetables sit in a single layer for better roasting.
