Step-by-Step Instructions for Halloween Roasted Vegetables
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil. Once boiling, carefully add halved sweet and white potatoes. Allow these to cook for 5 minutes, softening them slightly while keeping their shape.
- After boiling the potatoes, stir in the chopped carrots and red beets into the pot. Cook these vibrant veggies for an additional 5 minutes, allowing their natural sweetness to develop.
- Once your vegetables are cooked, remove them from the pot and let them cool slightly. Using a cookie cutter, carefully shape the sweet and white potatoes into fun jack-o'-lanterns and spooky ghosts.
- Now, take your boiled beets and slice them into slabs. With the same cookie cutter, create whimsical witch's hats from the beet slices.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). While it heats, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange all the creatively shaped veggies on the sheet, spreading them out evenly.
- Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over the arranged vegetables, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and fresh rosemary. Scatter crushed garlic cloves around for an added layer of flavor.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast your Halloween vegetables for 1 hour. Halfway through, flip the veggies gently to ensure even browning.
- In the last 10 minutes of roasting, drizzle balsamic vinegar over the beets and honey over the carrots to enhance their flavor profile.
- Once perfectly roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow your Halloween roasted vegetables to cool slightly. Serve them warm or as a standalone treat.

Notes
Ensure all vegetables are cut to a similar size for even cooking. For the best results, reheat leftovers in the oven to maintain crispiness.
