Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the sweet potato and beet cubes on one half of a large rimmed baking sheet and the red onion wedges and zucchini half-moons on the other half. Drizzle all the vegetables with 3 tbsp avocado oil, then sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss each group briefly on its side of the pan, then spread everything into a single layer.

Roast for 20 minutes, then flip the vegetables with a spatula. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 12–15 minutes, until the sweet potato and beets are tender when pierced with a fork and the cut edges are caramelized and deep golden brown. The zucchini and onion should be softened with lightly charred edges. Remove from the oven and let the vegetables rest on the pan for 5 minutes.
