Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 small red beets, peeled and quartered
  • 2 small golden beets, peeled and quartered
  • 2 small turnips, scrubbed and quartered
  • 1 sweet potato, scrubbed, halved lengthwise, and cut into 1½” chunks
  • 1 red onion, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 1 bunch multicolored carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise
  • Olive oil (for roasting)
  • Kosher salt
  • ¼ cup + 1 tbsp honey (plus more to drizzle)
  • 12 oz Greek yogurt
  • 40 coarse “cracks” of black pepper
  • Flaky sea salt (for garnish)
  • ¼ cup chopped, toasted nuts (e.g., hazelnuts)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
  2. Prep all vegetables by washing, peeling, and cutting as listed above. Cut pieces into similar sizes for even roasting.
  3. Arrange beets, turnips, sweet potatoes, and red onion on one baking sheet; place carrots on another sheet.
  4. Drizzle all vegetables with olive oil and toss well. Season with kosher salt.
  5. Roast the first sheet pan (beets, etc.) for 10 minutes, then add the carrot pan and roast both for 15 more minutes.
  6. Remove pans, drizzle ¼ cup of honey over vegetables, and return to oven for another 8 minutes until golden and caramelized.
  7. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with 1 tbsp honey, 40 coarse cracks of black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
  8. Spread yogurt mixture onto a serving platter.
  9. Layer the roasted vegetables over the yogurt base.
  10. Finish with additional honey, olive oil, flaky salt, toasted nuts, and a few more cracks of black pepper.

Notes

  • Cut vegetables uniformly for even roasting.
  • Use fresh cracked black pepper for best flavor.
  • Add honey at the end of roasting to avoid burning.
  • Can be made ahead and reheated before serving.
  • Maple syrup or balsamic glaze can substitute for honey.
