- 2 Tablespoons avocado or olive oil

- 1 pound carrots or parsnips peeled and cut into ¾ inch thick rounds (about 4 cups)

Preheat oven to 425ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add the oil and oregano to a large bowl and whisk to combine.
Add sweet potatoes, carrots (or parsnips) and onion to the bowl. Toss to coat veggies. Sprinkle vegetables generously with sea salt and pepper.
Spread veggies onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are in one layer so they roast instead of steam. Roast veggies until tender, about 50 minutes, tossing halfway.
