Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 cups Cauliflower florets
- 2 cups Carrots, sliced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 medium Yellow bell pepper, chopped
Seasoning and Garnish
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1/4 cup Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the vegetables evenly and developing a nice caramelization.
- Prepare the vegetables: Wash and chop the broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces so they cook evenly and quickly in the oven.
- Toss with seasoning: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Toss everything well to coat the vegetables thoroughly with the flavorful mixture.
- Roast the vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer to promote even roasting. Place in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through for uniform cooking.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for a burst of color and fresh flavor before serving.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute or add other vegetables such as zucchini, Brussels sprouts, or sweet potatoes for variety.
- For extra crispiness, use a convection oven if available and check vegetables a few minutes earlier for doneness.
- Adjust seasoning to your taste, adding more garlic or herbs if desired.
- This dish pairs well as a side for grilled meats, fish, or with a grain bowl for a vegetarian meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
