Steps
Heat your oven to 400F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Give the oven 10 to 15 minutes to fully come up to temperature.
Trim the Brussels sprouts: cut each one in half lengthwise and peel off the top loose leaf. Set them aside on their own.
Peel the carrot, parsnip and sweet potato, then cut them into thin slices of similar thickness so they cook evenly.
Peel the red onion and cut it into 8 wedges. Cut the bell pepper into large pieces. Trim the mushroom stems and halve them lengthwise.
Whisk 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup avocado oil, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper and a finely chopped rosemary sprig in a bowl.
Brush about 1 tablespoon of oil over one lined sheet. Spread the carrots, parsnips, sweet potato, onion, pepper and mushrooms on it, pour over the oil mix and toss until coated.
Oil the second sheet with 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the Brussels sprouts, dust with salt and pepper, toss, then lay them flat side down.
Roast both sheets for 20 minutes at 400F. Pull them out, turn and toss the vegetables with a spatula, then return them to the oven.
Lower the oven to 375F and roast another 20 minutes, until the edges are browned and the sprouts are tender.
Squeeze lemon juice over the hot vegetables and scatter fresh basil on top. Serve warm, with balsamic vinegar or feta if you like.
Tips and common mistakes
Cut everything to a similar thickness, or thin pieces will burn before thick ones soften.
Keep the Brussels sprouts flat side down and on their own sheet so they brown instead of steaming.
Do not crowd the pans. Use a third sheet if the vegetables overlap.
Use oven mitts when turning the hot pans, and keep the oven door closed between checks.
Questions
Why are my roasted vegetables soggy?
Too much oil or overlapping pieces trap steam. Coat lightly, spread in a single layer and use two sheets if needed.
Can I use other vegetables?
Yes. Zucchini, garlic cloves, potatoes and squash work well. Add quick-cooking ones like zucchini in the last 20 minutes.
Do I have to lower the oven to 375F?
It helps denser roots finish without burning. If yours are already tender at 20 minutes, keep 400F and check every 5 minutes.
