Roasted Vegetables are healthy and delicious!
With the abundance of nature’s fresh harvests available all year round, a beautifully cooked batch of vegetables never goes out of style! And roasting them is one of the best ways to highlight their natural flavors and colors! Aside from the fact that it is so easy to do, roasting vegetables brings out their natural sweetness and gives them a smoky, caramelized, and deliciously charred flavor that is out of this world amazing! They come out of the oven perfectly tender with crisp outer layers, ready to be devoured.
So gather up your freshly harvests from your backyard garden, or clean out your chiller with any leftover veggies and let’s get roasting!

Preparing your Vegetables
Usually, you may have more hands-on time in preparing the vegetables than cooking them. Here are some items to remember!
- You don’t need to peel your veggies. Just make sure that you wash them thoroughly before chopping or slicing. And most importantly, make sure that you also dry them meticulously. Watery veggies will create steam in the oven, making them soggy and unappealing.
- The rule of thumb is to cut them into equal sizes as much as possible. However, you also have to be mindful that some veggies tenderize longer than others, like potatoes and carrots. You can cut them smaller than other delicate veggies like onion and bell peppers.
- Do not leave your chopped veggies in the open too long, or they will lose their freshness, vibrancy, and crispiness. If you are preparing them in advance, place a damp cloth or paper towel or cling foil on top of the veggies and refrigerate.

Tips when Roasting Vegetables
- Use a large baking sheet with low sides. This ensures that the heat from the oven is evenly distributed, and the low sides guarantee that the moisture from the veggies is not trapped inside, resulting in crispier and well-roasted vegetables.
- Do not overcrowd your baking pan. The veggies need to be evenly spaced and are laying flat on the pan. They should not overlap, or they will end up steaming instead of roasting.
- Toss the veggies halfway through, especially when you see them browning too much at the bottom.
- Be generous with the use of oil. The veggies have to be coated well so the herbs can cling to them well. Plus, this will ensure they do not turn dry and tough.

What you will need
- Vegetables: I used mini potatoes, beets, Brussels sprouts, carrots, red onion, red bell pepper, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes. However, you can also use other root or collard vegetables like sweet potatoes, parsnips, kohlrabi, cauliflower or broccoli. Also, leek, pumpkin, squash, zucchini, corn, asparagus, green beans, or eggplant are great!
- Herbs: this recipe calls for Italian herbs and sprigs of fresh rosemary and thyme but feel free to use your favorites.
- Olive oil: coats the veggies and helps make them crisp and perfectly charred in the oven. You can also use avocado, sunflower or canola oil if you prefer.
- Salt and Pepper: or other seasonings to taste.
- Garnishes: I topped my oven-roasted vegetables with tofu feta, toasted pine nuts, fresh parsley, and pomegranate seeds but you can really get creative here!
Possible Add-ons
- Serve it with hummus, herb dip, tzatziki, dill dip, baba ganoush or other dips on the side for dipping.
- For more protein, you can serve the veggies with some cooked chickpeas, beans, or lentils.
- If you’d like more variety, you can also add your favorite fruits like apples, pineapples, plums, grapes and figs!


How to roast vegetables
As always, I recommend checking out this step-by-step instruction and the recipe video first. Then you‘ll find the full recipe with exact measurements in the recipe card below!
Step 1: Chop and marinate the veggies
Start by cleaning and chopping your veggies as shown in the recipe video. Also, make sure to read the tips for preparing and roasting vegetables above. Then put your veggies in a bowl. Add olive oil and Italian herbs and toss to combine.
Tip: You can marinate the beet in a separate bowl to ensure the rest of the veggies do not discolor.

Step 2: Season and roast in the oven
Now spread your veggies evenly on a large baking sheet tray or in a flat casserole dish. Place the herb sprigs in between and sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Bake in the preheated oven at 392 °F (200 °C) for about 35-40 minutes.
Tip: Place the cherry tomatoes between the vegetables around 10 minutes before the end of the baking time. This will ensure they don’t get too soft.

How to Store Roasted Vegetables
Store your roasted veggies in an airtight container or cover your container with plastic wrap. They can be stored in the fridge for around 3-5 days. You can quickly reheat them in the microwave or back in the oven.
