I’ve roasted potatoes, onions, and sweet potatoes, but I’ve never roasted beets. I’ve also never roasted them all together, until this week when I gave this roasted root vegetables recipe a try. I really love red beets, so I’m not sure why I’ve never tried roasting them before? I’ve pickled, boiled, dehydrated, canned, and fermented them, hah! But I haven’t roasted red beets.
I usually eat fairly healthy, but the days leading up to Christmas and the week between Christmas and New Years always turn into a bit of a free for all for me! I still try to eat healthy for the most part, BUT little bites and servings of foods I don’t normally eat still tend to sneak into my diet! Time to get back on track for the new year, and this roasted root vegetables recipe is just what the doctor ordered! This is a whole30, grain-free, gluten-free, and vegan recipe.
I was super excited with how this recipe came out. I added rosemary because I’m a rosemary fan, but you don’t have too. The roasting brings out the sweet in the root vegetables.

January is always a good month to detox from all the sweets and sugar from December with the Whole30 meal plan, or trying to cut the sugar with a low carb menu. Plus the Whole30 program is a great way to start the new year, so I created this recipe as part of my Whole30 menu and recipes. I’ve really been enjoying the journey with great recipes like this! I definitely haven’t been missing the processed foods!
