For serving

5 oz mixed greens or arugula
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Prehble the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the sweet potato and parsnip pieces on one half of a large rimmed baking sheet and the beet pieces on the other half (keeping beets separate prevents them from bleeding onto the other vegetables). Drizzle all the vegetables with 2 tbsp of the olive oil, sprinkle with 1/4 tsp of the salt, the turmeric, and the ginger, and toss each section to coat.
2
Roast the vegetables for 30–35 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the sweet potatoes and parsnips are golden at the edges and tender when pierced with a fork, and the beets are tender throughout.
