Roasted New Potatoes/Beets/Carrots with Garlic-Thyme Dressing

This is a very loose adaption of a recipe I found here.
I had gotten some amazing potatoes, carrots and beets in my CSA box this week.  I liked the thought of a garlic-thyme dressing to go with.  The dressing was outstanding.  Not too lemony…not too garlic-y.  Definitely a keeper.

Herb Pesto Roasted New Potatoes and Carrots

I took the herbs I have growing on my balcony and made a yummy pesto.  Pestos are great.  I get to control the fat content, the salt, etc…
I use pestos for everything.  I coat my pasta, slather it all over chicken and this time all over my veggies. 
Unfortunately, my “recipe” is a handful of this [...]
