Steps
Heat the oven to 450 F. Wash and peel the beets and potatoes, then cut them into bite-size cubes and put them in a large bowl.
Cube the onion and add it to the bowl. Slice the baby carrots in half lengthwise and add them too.
Mince the garlic. In a separate cup, whisk the olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt, pepper and garlic until combined.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and stir until every piece is evenly coated.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the sheet pan. Scatter the capers over the top.
Bake for about 1 hour, until a fork slides easily into the largest pieces. Check at 45 minutes since smaller cuts cook faster.
If the vegetables look dry, cover the pan with foil for the last half hour of baking.
Chop the parsley. Sprinkle it and a few extra capers over the tray before serving hot or at room temperature.
Tips and common mistakes
Cut the vegetables to a similar size so they finish cooking at the same time.
Keep the pieces in one layer with space between them so they brown instead of steaming.
Beets can stain hands and boards, so wear gloves or rinse promptly.
Use maple syrup instead of honey to make the dish vegan.
Questions
Can I use other root vegetables?
Yes. Parsnips, sweet potatoes and turnips work well. Keep the total amount similar and cut them to the same bite-size pieces.
Why are my roasted vegetables soggy?
They were probably crowded on the pan or too wet from the dressing. Use a large pan, spread them in one layer and shake off excess dressing.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes. Roast it earlier in the day and serve at room temperature. Add the fresh parsley and capers just before serving.
