- Root veggies: Red baby potatoes and carrots supply a variety of vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants. Some common replacements are sweet potatoes and parsnips, both of which are also high in vitamins and nutrients!
- Zucchini and mushrooms: Zucchini and mushrooms may support digestive health since they are rich in fiber. Feel free to substitute broccoli or cauliflower or leave these out if you wish.
- Herbs: Thyme and rosemary impart a savory flavor to the root vegetables. Parsley adds color and a strong herbal flavor to the dish. Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking with your favorites!
- Spices: Garlic provides an aromatic flair while the salt and pepper enhance the beautiful flavors of the vegetables.
- Olive oil: Olive oil supplies healthy fats and helps the vegetables roast up nicely. Use your favorite light, neutral-flavored oil.

Tips To Roast Veggies
- Evenly Sized Pieces: Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Preheat the Oven: Make sure the oven is preheated before roasting the vegetables for optimal caramelization.
- Use a Large Baking Sheet: Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on a large baking sheet to prevent overcrowding and ensure proper roasting.

Storing and Reheating
Storing: Store in the fridge for 3-5 days in an airtight container.
To reheat: Simply broil in the oven or toss into a skillet to reheat until warmed through or crisped up.
Freezing: You can freeze vegetables but I do not recommend freezing them because they become soggy and unpleasant.
Alternative Cooking Methods
Grilling: Grilling vegetables adds a delicious smoky flavor and charred edges. Simply brush the vegetables with oil and seasonings, then grill them over medium-high heat until tender and lightly charred. You can use a grill basket or skewers to prevent smaller pieces from falling through the grates.
Air frying: Air frying vegetables results in crispy exteriors with less oil than traditional frying methods. Toss the vegetables with a small amount of oil and seasonings, then arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit until they’re golden brown and tender, shaking the basket occasionally for even cooking.
Sautéing: Heat the skillet to medium-high heat and add the root veggies first. Cook until tender and then add the zucchini and mushrooms. Cook until caramelized and browned.
Steaming: Steam the vegetables for a lighter, more delicate texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to peel the vegetables before roasting them?
Peeling vegetables is up to you! Some vegetables, like potatoes and carrots, may benefit from peeling, while others, like bell peppers and zucchini, can be roasted with the skin on.
What seasonings are best for roasted vegetables?
You can use a variety of seasonings for roasted vegetables, including olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Herbs de Provence, or cumin. Feel free to experiment with different flavor combinations to suit your taste preferences.
How long do roasted veggies last?
Leftover roasted veggies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
What is the secret to roasting vegetables?
I think the best practices to roasting veggies is to slice everything evenly, do not over crowd the pan and group similar veggies with same cooking time. Root vegetables generally take longer than others so always start with those before adding veggies that take less time to cook.
Can I use different vegetables?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix and match your favorite vegetables or use whatever is in season for variety.
