Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cups cauliflower florets
- 3 cups chopped carrots (cut into ¼-inch thick coins)
- 3 cups chopped summer squash (like zucchini and yellow squash)
Seasoning
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp seasoning (such as dried herbs or your preferred blend)
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for roasting the vegetables.
- Prep the Vegetables and Seasoning. Chop all the vegetables as indicated. Stir together your chosen seasoning blend with olive oil and salt in a large bowl.
- Toss the Vegetables. Add the chopped vegetables to the bowl and toss them thoroughly to coat each piece evenly with the oil and seasoning mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet. Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Roast the Vegetables. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, turning the vegetables once halfway through to promote uniform cooking and caramelization.
- Manage Broccoli Cooking. If the broccoli starts to brown too fast, remove it from the pan and let the other vegetables finish cooking. Return the broccoli to the pan for the last few minutes just to reheat.
- Serve Warm. Once tender and slightly caramelized, serve the roasted vegetable medley warm. It pairs wonderfully with Lemon Tahini Sauce or as a side to your favorite main dishes.
Notes
- Use a wide variety of vegetables—this roasting method works well with many others like Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, or bell peppers.
- If you prefer, you can roast the vegetables in an air fryer for faster cooking time and crispiness.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste; herbs like thyme, rosemary, or smoked paprika add great flavor.
- For even cooking, try to cut vegetables into uniform sizes.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
