Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 potatoes (Yukon Gold or any variety), cut into medium-sized bite-sized pieces
- 2 red peppers, cut into medium-sized bite-sized pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into medium-sized bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup halved Brussels sprouts
- 3 spears asparagus, cut into medium-sized bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup chopped squash
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Seasoning & Oil
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Cut all the vegetables into medium-sized, bite-sized pieces to ensure even roasting and easy eating. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray to prevent sticking. Spread the prepared vegetables and minced garlic on the baking tray in a single layer. It’s okay if some pieces slightly overlap, but ideally, they should all make contact with the baking sheet for optimal roasting.
- Season and roast: Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the vegetables. Sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste. Place the sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
- Flip and continue roasting: After the first 30 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully flip the vegetables to promote even browning on all sides. Return the tray to the oven and roast for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and nicely caramelized.
Notes
- Use a variety of vegetables you like or have on hand. Root vegetables like carrots or parsnips work well.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; vegetables roast best when they have space.
- Seasoning can be adjusted with herbs like rosemary or thyme for additional flavor.
- For extra crispiness, use high-quality olive oil and avoid steaming by ensuring vegetables aren’t overlapping too much.
