6 cups cubed (1/2-inch) peeled root vegetables, such as potatoes, turnips, carrots and beets
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided

Preheat oven to 450°F.
Toss root vegetables in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spread in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes. Stir and continue roasting until soft and golden brown in spots, 13 to 15 minutes more.
