• 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
• Salt & Pepper to Taste
• 2 Tbsp Vegan Butter
• 3 Tbsp Maple Syrup

Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 425°F/220°C and move the rack to the middle position.

3. Drizzle the olive oil onto the beets and carrots and add salt & pepper. Toss until they’re coated. Spread them out in an even layer.
