1 cup chopped onion
1 cup quartered crimini mushrooms
1 cup sliced carrots
1/2 cup chopped parsnips
1/2 cup sliced celery
4 large garlic cloves, crushed, peeled

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine first 6 ingredients in 13 x 9 x 2-inch roasting pan. Drizzle oil over; toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt. Roast vegetables until tender and golden, stirring occasionally, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven.
