Ingredients
Scale
1 lb baby potatoes (red or gold), halved
1 cup carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup zucchini, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, carrots, broccoli, and zucchini.
Drizzle the vegetables with the olive oil. Toss well to coat every piece evenly.
Add the minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss again until the seasoning adheres to all the vegetables.
Spread the seasoned vegetables onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to allow for proper crisping.
Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time. The vegetables are done when the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and the edges of the other vegetables show light browning.
Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving immediately.
Notes
For best results and crispy edges, ensure your vegetables are dry before tossing with oil.
If you prefer a softer texture or are using denser root vegetables like sweet potatoes, you may need to add 5 to 10 minutes to the cook time.
This recipe is a great alternative to complicated meal planning; it pairs well with any main course.
For a different flavor profile, substitute the herbs with 1.5 teaspoons of Italian seasoning.
