Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 medium carrots, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 2 medium beets, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1 medium sweet potato, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh herbs (cilantro or parsley), finely chopped
- Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tbsp)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Chop the carrots, beets, and sweet potato into one-inch chunks.
- In a large bowl, toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned veggies on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown and fork-tender, flipping halfway through.
- While the veggies roast, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Whisk together lemon juice and a pinch of salt to keep the avocado fresh.
- Once the vegetables are done roasting, assemble your bowl by layering roasted veggies with avocado slices. Drizzle with extra olive oil if desired and garnish with fresh herbs.
