The sheet pan method of cooking is one of the best ways to cook a few veggies at the same time and in one pan. As the main dish was honey baked ham I decided to keep the seasonings simple and a little sweet.
Sheet Pan Roasted Maple Potatoes, Carrots and Onions
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup Michigan maple syrup (or more)
- 2-4 large garlic cloves, minced (optional)
- potatoes (your choice and peeled optional) cut into 1-1/2″ pieces
- carrots (peeled – optional), cut on a diagonal about 1-1/2″ pieces
- sweet or red onions, peeled and cut into wedges (see directions below)
- seasoned salt to taste (or use any herbs/spices of your choosing)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. It’s best to use parchment paper, foil or silpat and line a baking sheet with it. Apply a non stick spray as the syrup will make the veggies sticky.
Place the onion wedges in one bowl and the potatoes and carrots in another bowl. Combine the oil and maple syrup (garlic – optional) and drizzle over the veggies; toss well. Place each vegetable in a row and sprinkle seasoning salt over all. Roast 40 minutes to an hour, or until they are tender and nicely browned.
How to cut an onion into thick wedges and keep them intact for roasting:
Trim the stem end and peel the skins down to the root; remove the skins. Trim the root end but be sure to leave most of it intact. Cut in half from the stem down to the root end. Turn each half on the cut side and slice into wedges at an angle trying to include a little bit of the root end.

Easter dinner 2019: Honey baked ham, roasted carrots, potatoes and onions, green bean casserole with cheese, deviled eggs, honey bunny bread and butter, fresh fruit with a sweet dip and cheesecake with fresh berries.
Honey Bunny Bread from Great Harvest Bread and my nephew:
When it comes to cooking veggies (and other stuff), sheet pan baking is the way to go. That’s a grand looking feed you had. I love the bunny bread.
I totally agree Ron – these three veggies need the same amount of cooking time so it was quite easy to make – just what I needed for Easter dinner. The bunny bread is always a big hit – it’s cute and delicious. Next year maybe I will try making my own…
Roasting is also my favorite way of cooking vegetables. It really brings the best flavor and so easy to serve.
Your nephiew’s bread looks so good! 🙂
Roasting does wonders for so many veggies especially. I seem to be using that method more and more. Will have to switch to the grill soon! I should have posted the bread after he nibbled on it – all the appendages were gone LOL
No wonder, the crunchy parts are so tasty! 🙂
yum to roasted veg – especially in one baking tray. cheers sherry
I agree Sherry – and the 3 veggies needed the same amount of cooking time. Very good and perfect for a side to ham. I am having trouble commenting on your blog!
I love sheet pan recipes and I love all the veggies plus the maple syrup! 😀 Thanks for sharing, Aunt Juju.
Thank you Jhuls. Such a great way to make three (or more) individual vegetables at the same time. Maple syrup is always a plus for me 🙂
