Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots and rutabagas: Select carrots that are firm and smooth, with no signs of wilting or bruising. Choose rutabagas that are also firm and smooth, with no cracks or blemishes.
  • Peel and cut the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Use a sharp knife to peel and cut the carrots and rutabagas into uniform pieces.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of roast. Make sure there is enough space between the vegetables so that they can brown properly.
  • Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a nice roasted flavor. Roast the vegetables at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and browned.
