Ingredients

Fresh Vegetables

  • Carrots, chopped (about 2 cups)
  • Bell peppers, chopped (about 2 cups)
  • Zucchini, sliced (about 2 cups)
  • Broccoli florets (about 2 cups)
  • Red onions, chopped (about 1 cup)

Seasonings & Add-ins

  • Garlic cloves, minced or thinly sliced (4-6 cloves)
  • Extra virgin olive oil (3 tablespoons)
  • Sea salt (to taste, about 1 teaspoon)
  • Cracked black pepper (to taste, about ½ teaspoon)
  • Fresh herbs (optional): rosemary, thyme, or parsley (1-2 tablespoons, chopped)

Optional Variations

  • Red pepper flakes or smoked paprika (¼ teaspoon, optional for heat)
  • Nutritional yeast (1 tablespoon, for cheesy flavor)
  • Toasted pine nuts or pumpkin seeds (¼ cup, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Vegetables: Wash, peel if necessary, and cut all selected vegetables into similar-sized pieces to ensure even roasting. Mince or thinly slice the garlic cloves to maximize flavor infusion.
  2. Toss with Olive Oil and Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, cracked black pepper, and any fresh herbs you choose to use. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly.
  3. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Spread the vegetable mixture in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to prevent steaming and ensure a crispy texture.
  4. Roast in the Oven: Place the baking sheet into a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C). Roast for 20-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the veggies are tender and caramelized at the edges.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the roasted veggies to a serving dish. Garnish with additional fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Cut vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
  • Roast at high heat (425°F / 220°C) to achieve caramelization without drying out.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain crispy edges.
  • Use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder for richer flavor.
  • Stir vegetables halfway through roasting for even browning.
  • Frozen vegetables can be used but adjust roasting time and drain excess moisture.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven to restore crispiness.
