• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. 2Peel the 2 medium carrots, 2 medium parsnips, and 1 medium sweet potato. Cut them into roughly 1-inch bite-sized pieces.
3. 3In a large bowl, combine the chopped root vegetables with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil, 1 tablespoon of rosemary, 1 tablespoon of thyme, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
4. 4Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
5. 5Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Place the 1 pound of cod cheeks on top of the roasted vegetables.
