Learn the simple technique for roasting vegetables to achieve tender interiors and crispy, caramelized edges every time. This guide covers seasoning and timing for perfect results.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs mixed vegetables (e.g., broccoli, carrots, potatoes, bell peppers)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried herbs (like thyme or oregano)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
  2. Wash and chop all vegetables into uniform, bite-sized pieces. Keep pieces similar in size for even cooking.
  3. Place the chopped vegetables in a large bowl.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables. Toss them until they are lightly and evenly coated.
  5. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried herbs over the vegetables. Toss again to distribute the seasoning.
  6. Spread the seasoned vegetables onto a large, rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to ensure crisping rather than steaming.
  7. Roast for 20 to 35 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time. The exact time depends on the density of the vegetables.
  8. Check for doneness: vegetables should be fork-tender inside and show browned, slightly crispy edges.
  9. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, ensure your vegetables are dry before tossing them with oil.
  • If using root vegetables like potatoes or carrots, cut them smaller than softer vegetables like zucchini or peppers, or start them roasting 10 minutes before adding the softer ones.
  • For a maple dijon flavor, whisk 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup into the olive oil before coating the vegetables.
  • Use high-heat oil like avocado or light olive oil for best results.
