Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Vegetables

  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red onion, chopped

Garlic Herb Seasoning

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh or dried rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh or dried thyme, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh or dried parsley, chopped
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne (for spicy kick, optional)
  • Fresh basil or oregano (alternative herbs, optional)
  • 1–2 tbsp nutritional yeast (for cheesy flavor, optional)
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash all your vegetables thoroughly, then chop them into roughly even bite-sized pieces to ensure they roast evenly and develop a perfect crisp-tender texture.
  2. Mix the Garlic Herb Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped fresh or dried herbs, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir well until the mixture is fragrant and well blended.
  3. Toss Vegetables with Seasoning: Transfer your chopped veggies to a large mixing bowl or directly onto a baking sheet. Pour the garlic herb mixture over them and toss gently until every piece is coated beautifully.
  4. Spread on a Baking Sheet: Arrange the veggies in a single, even layer on the baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding as this will steam the vegetables instead of roasting, preventing that signature caramelized edge.
  5. Roast Until Golden: Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) and roast for 20-25 minutes. Halfway through, stir or flip the veggies for an even roast and irresistible crunch.
  6. Finish with a Lemon Squeeze (Optional): Once out of the oven, toss the veggies lightly with fresh lemon juice to brighten flavors and add a touch of zestiness.

Notes

  • Cut all veggies to similar sizes for even cooking and crisp edges.
  • Keep the oven temperature high to caramelize the natural sugars in vegetables.
  • Use a large enough baking sheet so veggies aren’t crowded, ensuring proper roasting.
  • Fresh minced garlic offers more vibrant flavor than garlic powder or pre-minced.
  • Stirring halfway increases crispy edges and avoids burnt spots.
