- For roasted vegetables: put chopped onion, squash, potatoes, carrots, and parsnips in a large bowl. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper and mix well.
- Spread vegetables onto 1 or 2 large baking sheets, being careful not to crowd (vegetables placed too close together will steam rather than roast).
- Place in oven and roast for about 45 minutes, tossing occasionally, until vegetables are tender and just starting to brown in spots. Remove from the oven.
