Healthy and Satisfying, Roasted Vegetables can be enjoyed as a meal with rice, lentils, potatoes or served as side dish. This is my favorite way to cook veggies and I cook them at least twice a week. You can use any veggies you like, or go seasonal at your local farmers market and discover some new flavors.
Ingredients
- Broccoli Florets
- Cauliflower Florets
- Mushrooms (I like baby portobello) but use whatever you like
- Chickpeas/Garbanzo Beans (I use instead of adding rice sometimes)
- Squash
- Zucchini
- Onion
- Okra (if in season)
Seasoning
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic Powder
- Smoked Paprika
- Grape Seed Oil (higher cooking temp, but you can use EVOO)
Instructions
- Pre Heat Oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper (easy clean up)
- Add all the veggies to the baking sheet
- Add oil over the veggies and mix (you can use your hands)
- Season and gently toss until thoroughly combined
- Arrange all veggies in a single layer
- Bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking. You want the veggies fork tender and slightly browned. Cook a couple minutes longer if want a crisp.
- Remove from oven and serve
Tips for Perfectly Roasted Veggies
- Use a large sheet pan. You do not want the veggies to overlap. Arrange them in one single layer
- Remember to stir halfway through cooking.
- I actually use a countertop oven that is much smaller then a standard kitchen oven. My cook time is shorter, so make sure you adjust according to your oven.
- Mix it up! Use other seasonings. Eat over rice or potatoes. Add some Sweet Potatoes to the mix
- I like a little spice and tang, I sometimes add a few squeezes of Kewpie Mayo and Sriracha Sauce . Yummmmmmmmyyyyyy
