Save Recipe

When I’m short on time but still want a wholesome and flavorful side dish, I always turn to roasting. There’s just no beating the way the oven transforms everyday veggies into something golden and irresistible.

I’ve shared my roasted peppers and roasted carrots and broccoli, but today I wanted to share a more general roasted vegetables recipe that you can use with a variety of vegetables depending on the season and what you have on hand.

“Thank you, such an easy and healthy recipe!” -Elle

Why I love this recipe

It is super easy and quick to throw together, perfect for those busy days when I need something fast but still delicious. It is healthy, tasty, and goes with pretty much any meal, making it the ultimate side dish for any occasion.

I also love that I can use whatever veggies I have on hand or whatever I am craving that week, which makes it super versatile. I love experimenting with different seasoning blends to keep things interesting. Every time I make it, I can change up the flavor.

Ingredients

  • Veggies: peppers, zucchini, carrots, onion, green beans, potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, whatever your favorites are!
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • lemon juice, optional
  • Mrs. Dash or Italian seasoning are good options, your favorite seasoning blends.

Step by step

  1. Chop the vegetables into evenly sized pieces. For vegetables that take longer to cook, like potatoes, cut them into smaller pieces to ensure even cooking. (See vegetable cooking times below)
  2. Toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil and your chosen seasoning in a large bowl.
  3. Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on a rimmed baking sheet, making sure they’re not overcrowded.
  4. Roast in the oven for about 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, or until the vegetables reach your desired level of doneness.

Veggies cooking time

Roast in the oven according to these cooking times, stirring halfway through:

  • Root vegetables (potatoes, carrots): 30-45 minutes
  • Winter squash (butternut, acorn): 20-60 minutes
  • Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts): 15-25 minutes
  • Soft/thin vegetables (zucchini, bell peppers, green beans, asparagus, onion): 10-20 minutes
  • Tomatoes 15-20 minutes

Tips for best results

  • Use a higher oven temperature (around 425°F) if you want crispy edges.
  • For a golden, crispy finish, don’t overcrowd the baking sheet. Use two pans if needed.
  • Stir the veggies halfway through roasting for even browning.
  • Use a variety of veggies for different textures and flavors.

Variations

What I love most about this roasted vegetable recipe is how easily it can be adapted. A splash of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar adds a delicious tang, and changes up the seasonings, like trading Italian herbs for smoked paprika or a Cajun blend. 

Also, seasonal veggies work great, too! I use sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts in the cooler months and zucchini or bell peppers in the warmer ones. It’s so fun to make this recipe my own every time I cook it!

Serving suggestions

These oven-roasted vegetables are incredibly versatile and pair beautifully with so many dishes. For dinner they are a great side for baked chicken thighs or baked chicken breasts.

They are also delicious reheated for breakfast on the side of my favorite scrambled eggs recipe. You can even use them on salads or sandwiches too, depending on which veggies you roast.

Storage

Roasted vegetable leftovers are a lifesaver!

Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, toss them in a skillet or pop them back in the oven for a few minutes to revive that perfect crispiness.
