Nonstick vegetable oil spray
4 medium carrots (about 1 1/4 pounds), scrubbed, ends trimmed
4 medium parsnips (about 1 1/4 pounds), scrubbed, ends trimmed
1 pound fingerling potatoes or baby Dutch yellow potatoes, scrubbed
1/2 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1. Position 1 rack in top third and 1 rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 375°F.
2. Spray 2 heavy large rimmed baking sheets with nonstick spray. Cut carrots and parsnips into 3- to 4-inch lengths. Fit processor with 1/4-inch-thick slicing disk. Working in batches, place carrot pieces upright and fitting snugly side by side in feed tube of processor. With machine running, use plunger to push down firmly on carrots and cut uniform round slices. Transfer carrot coins to extra-large bowl. Repeat with parsnips, then potatoes.
