Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1 to 1.5 inch pieces
  • 2 bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), chopped into similar sized pieces
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1 to 1.5 inch chunks
  • 1 large red onion, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes

Seasonings & Oil

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced or finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Vegetables: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Peel carrots and red onion if desired. Chop all vegetables into evenly sized pieces about 1 to 1.5 inches to ensure uniform cooking and optimal texture.
  2. Season and Toss: In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables. Drizzle generously with olive oil. Add minced garlic, fresh rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss gently but thoroughly until all pieces are well coated with oil and seasonings.
  3. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the vegetables in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding to ensure roasting rather than steaming.
  4. Roast to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for 25 to 35 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking for even caramelization. Watch for golden brown edges and tender centers. Expect cherry tomatoes to burst, enriching the flavors.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from oven once roasted. Optionally, toss with additional fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten flavors. Serve warm as a side or main dish.

Notes

  • Uniform chopping ensures even cooking and perfect texture.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan to allow vegetables to roast and caramelize instead of steaming.
  • Roast at high heat (425°F) for crispy edges and tender interiors.
  • Add a splash of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice after roasting to brighten the flavors.
  • Mix firmer and softer vegetables for balanced texture.
