Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 medium carrots, sliced into rounds
2 parsnips, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
8 corn tortillas
2 ripe avocados, sliced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 lime, cut into wedges
Optional: Pickled red onions and feta cheese
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup for your roasted root veggie tacos with avocado.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes, carrots, and parsnips with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the vegetables are thoroughly coated.
Step 3: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and golden brown.
Step 4: While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the avocado by slicing it into thin strips. If you prefer a creamier texture for your roasted root veggie tacos with avocado, you can mash the avocado with a splash of lime juice and a pinch of salt.
Step 5: Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or over an open flame until they are soft and slightly charred.
Step 6: To assemble the roasted root veggie tacos with avocado, place a generous spoonful of the roasted vegetables into each tortilla. Top with avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and any optional toppings like pickled onions.
Step 7: Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side to squeeze over the roasted root veggie tacos with avocado.
Notes
Feel free to swap the parsnips for beets or radishes for extra color and flavor variety.
