Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp kosher salt add more to taste after roasting
- 0.75 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1.25 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.75 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes optional for heat
- 2 cup broccoli florets cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1.25 cup carrots, sliced about 1/4-inch thick
- 1.5 cup Brussels sprouts, halved trim ends and remove loose leaves
- 1.5 cup zucchini, half-moons cut about 1/2-inch thick
- 1 cup red bell pepper, strips seeded
- 1 cup red onion, wedges separated layers
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice for finishing
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese optional
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and position racks in the upper and lower thirds.
- Line two large sheet pans with parchment for easier cleanup.
- Cut vegetables into similar 1-inch pieces and pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
- Whisk olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl.
- Toss all vegetables in the seasoned oil until evenly coated.
- Spread vegetables on the pans in a single layer, leaving space for browning.
- Roast for 15 minutes. Stir, rotate the pans, and roast 10–12 minutes more until tender with crisp edges.
- Finish with lemon juice, then sprinkle parsley and Parmesan. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
Notes
Variation: Swap in sweet potato cubes or cauliflower for any of the veggies; add 3–5 extra minutes if using denser vegetables. Serving tip: Drizzle with a balsamic glaze or serve over cooked quinoa for a heartier side. Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 4 days; re-crisp on a hot sheet pan for 5–7 minutes.
