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.
