Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine carrots, sweet potatoes, beet, pumpkin. Drizzle with the oil and toss to coat the vegetables with the oil. Tip the veggies onto the sheet and spread them out into a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Roast vegetables in the oven for about 20 - 25 minutes (or until the vegetables are tender), turning after 10 -15 minutes.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the Mexican crema. In a large bowl, add the yogurt and sprinkle with salt. Gradually blend in the cream 1⁄4 cup at a time until fully absorbed by the yogurt. It will have a silky texture. Blend in the lime juice.
Remove vegetables from oven, plate and serve immediately with the crema on the side for dipping.
