Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 425°F.
Peel 3 pounds of root vegetables, if desired, then cut them into roughly 1-inch chunks. Cut 1 small red onion into 1-inch chunks. Place the root vegetables and red onion on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil, sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, and toss to evenly coat. Spread out in an even layer.
Roast for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, chop until you have 2 tablespoons of coarsely chopped rosemary leaves.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, sprinkle the vegetables with the rosemary, and toss to combine. Spread back out in an even layer. Continue to roast until the vegetables are tender and caramelized, 10 to 15 minutes more.

Add cinnamon, bay leaves, carrots, peas, and green beans – saute a minute more.
Next, add the rice and cook on medium heat for two minutes so the rice is well coated with the oil.
Add stock, fresh herbs – and stir well. Season with salt and pepper.
Let come to a boil – then lower the heat to a minimum low. Cover the pan and let cook on low for 15 minutes undisturbed.
After 15 minutes – switch the heat off and let the rice rest for 10 minutes.
