Ingredients You’ll Need

Serves 4–6

  • 4 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers, zucchini, sweet potatoes, etc.), chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves , minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tbsp fresh thyme)
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary (or 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper , to taste
  • Optional Garnish : Fresh parsley, chopped, for serving

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) . Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2: Toss the Veggies

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables, olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss until the veggies are evenly coated.

Step 3: Roast

  1. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they’re not overcrowded (this helps them roast instead of steam).
  2. Roast in the preheated oven for 25–35 minutes , stirring halfway through, until the veggies are tender and caramelized around the edges. Cooking time may vary depending on the type of vegetables used.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Transfer the roasted veggies to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
