Instructions

Preheat the oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 200°C/400°F. Line a large baking dish or sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Prep the vegetables
Quarter the potatoes and chop the carrots into uniform 2-inch pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl to ensure even coating.
Season the vegetables
Drizzle olive oil over the prepared vegetables. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Gently toss the vegetables to coat them evenly with the oil and seasonings.
Roast the vegetables
Transfer the seasoned vegetables to the lined baking dish, spreading them out evenly. Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning. The vegetables are done when they are tender and golden.

Notes

To Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
To Reheat: Reheat the roasted vegetables in an oven preheated to 400°F for about 5 minutes or until thoroughly warmed.
To Freeze: After cooling, place the roasted vegetables in a freezer-safe ziplock bag and freeze for up to 6 months.
Variations:
Add spices like garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, or Italian seasoning for additional flavor.
Sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese over the hot veggies right after you take them out of the oven for a cheesy twist.
Substitute with similar vegetables, such as green beans, broccoli, or bell peppers, ensuring all pieces are consistent in size for even cooking.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for an extra pop of color and flavor.
