 3 medium turnips (1 1/2 lbs.), peeled and cut into eighths
 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 3-in. lengths (cut thickest pieces in half lengthwise)
 3 large parsnips, peeled and cut into 3-in. lengths (cut thickest pieces into halves or quarters lengthwise)
 2 medium butternut squashes, peeled, halved, seeded, and cut into 3- by 1-in. pieces
 10 to 20 garlic cloves, loose papery outer skins removed, inner skins left on
 2 medium orange sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3- by 1-in. pieces
  About 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Step 1
1

Preheat oven to 400°. Put all vegetables (including garlic) except sweet potatoes into a very large bowl (or two large ones); put sweet potatoes in a separate bowl. Drizzle bowls generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss gently with your hands to coat; then spread half of mixed vegetables on two large baking sheets. Break up 3 rosemary sprigs and sprinkle over vegetables.

Roast vegetables 15 minutes. Stir gently with a metal spatula if they are sticking. Add half of the sweet potatoes to pans. Continue roasting, stirring vegetables every 15 minutes if necessary and changing positions of pans to ensure even browning, until vegetables are browned and tender, 40 minutes to 1 1/4 hours. Remove from oven and set aside. Repeat with remaining half of mixed vegetables, sweet potatoes, and 2 1/2 rosemary sprigs.
