The Best Oven Roasted Vegetables
Deliciously seasoned roasted vegetables made quickly and effortlessly. Oven Roasted Vegetables are a quick and easy 20-minute side dish that is also healthy, tasty, and great served alongside meat, fish, or rice. Also, this is a perfect meal-prep dish. I save lots of time by roasting several large sheet pans of veggies on a Sunday night and then simply reheating them right before lunch or dinner for the rest of the week.
This awesome veggie treat has been my go-to dish lately because I can’t pass up a Farmer’s Market if my life depended on it. I see a veggie/fruit/pumpkin stand, and I STOP! I just hop out of the car, take everything they’ve got on display, and continue on my journey.
I live in Indiana, friends. Farmer’s Markets last a whole, what, like, 3 months around here?! SO, I just take full advantage. 🌶 🥦 🥕
How To Make Oven Roasted Vegetables
Roasting vegetables is an easy and very simple, almost hands-off skill. Vegetables are a healthy food to feed yourself and your family; roasting them is one way to make those veggies wanted, demanded, and loved. The hot oven brings out the natural sugars in vegetables, resulting in a sweet and fantastic depth of flavor.
BESIDES, this is the best way to clean out that vegetable tray in your fridge.
- In this recipe I used broccoli, cauliflower, thin baby carrots, red bell pepper, onions, and mushrooms.
- When roasting vegetables, I usually don’t even bother with measuring; I just layer every veggie I can find on top of a sheet pan.
- Then, I take some olive oil and drizzle it all over. Next, I add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian Seasoning over the veggies.
- Using my hands, I mix up everything together until all the veggies are coated with oil and seasonings.
- Finally, I transfer the vegetables to the oven for about 17 to 20 minutes, or until crisp-tender and lightly browned.
That’s pretty much IT. Healthy and delicious, and only a few simple ingredients to make the best vegetable side dish.
Tips For Perfectly Roasted Vegetables
- Do not overlap the veggies. You want one single layer of vegetables. I advise using a large sheet pan – 12 x 16 is a good size.
- Stir the veggies halfway through cooking.
- Use your favorite seasonings and spices, and adjust the amounts to your preference.
- Continue roasting until the vegetables are easily pierced with a fork or knife and they are showing crispy, charred bits at the edges. I like my veggies crisp-tender. The other three in this household like a SOFT tender veg. Thus, since majority rules… we end up with crisp-tender vegetables. 😉
- Before serving, add grated parmesan cheese and fresh chopped parsley. Cheese, for sure!
Recipe Variations and Vegetable Swaps
- As long as the vegetable/s can cook in around 15 to 20 minutes at 425˚F, you can use it in this recipe. For example, you can use asparagus, or halved small brussels sprouts, quartered red onions, or sliced zucchini.
Storing Vegetables Leftovers
- Store completely cooled vegetables in an airtight container, and keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- To keep the vegetables firm and crisp, reheat them in a preheated 450˚F oven for 5 minutes.
