Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
3 medium carrots, diced
2 parsnips, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 corn tortillas
2 ripe avocados, sliced
1 lime, cut into wedges
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Optional: Pickled red onions for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure your roasted root veggie tacos with avocado don't stick.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes, carrots, and parsnips. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with cumin, smoked paprika, and salt.
Step 3: Toss the vegetables until they are evenly coated in the oil and spices, which is crucial for the flavor profile of the roasted root veggie tacos with avocado.
Step 4: Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to roast properly.
Step 5: Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and have developed caramelized edges for the roasted root veggie tacos with avocado.
Step 6: While the vegetables roast, warm your corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until pliable.
Step 7: To assemble the roasted root veggie tacos with avocado, place a generous spoonful of the roasted vegetables in the center of each warm tortilla.
Step 8: Top each taco with slices of fresh avocado, a sprinkle of cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice before serving your delicious roasted root veggie tacos with avocado.
Notes
For extra crunch, add toasted pumpkin seeds or pepitas on top of your roasted root veggie tacos with avocado.
