Heat the oven to 425°F and line two baking sheets with parchment. On one sheet, toss the parsnips, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. On the second, toss the broccolini the same way. Roast the parsnips, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts 20 to 25 minutes, and the broccolini 10 to 12 minutes, until golden at the edges.
