Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Halloween Roasted Vegetables
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Now, take your boiled beets and slice them into slabs. With the same cookie cutter, create whimsical witch's hats from the beet slices.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. In the last 10 minutes of roasting, drizzle balsamic vinegar over the beets and honey over the carrots to enhance their flavor profile.
  9. 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.
