Perfect Oven-Roasted Vegetables
Report
My Perfect Oven-Roasted Vegetables are caramelized in the oven at a high temperature to bring out their natural sweetness and intensify their flavor. Enjoy them as a delicious side dish or add them to grains, salads, sandwiches and pasta dishes.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Cut the onion and peppers into 1-inch pieces. Slice the zucchini and carrots on a diagonal into pieces that are roughly the same size.
- Place all of the vegetables and the garlic cloves on two sheet pans. Toss them with oil and season them with salt and pepper. Spread them out in a single layer- don’t overcrowd the pans.
- Place one pan on a shelf in the upper third of the oven and the other one on a shelf in the lower third. Roast vegetables until browned and tender, 30-35 minutes, stirring them halfway through. Switch the pans halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- For a finishing touch, you can add a final sprinkling of sea salt, fresh herbs, vinegar or grated parmesan cheese when you remove the vegetables from the oven.
- Serve roasted vegetables as a side dish with grilled chicken or fish or stir them into rice or quinoa. You can also add them to salads, sandwiches, quesadillas or pasta dishes.
Notes
- Cut the vegetables into similar size pieces so they cook evenly. I like to cut vegetables like zucchini and carrots on a diagonal- the greater surface area will give you more caramelization.
- Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on the sheet pans to maximize the caramelization. Don’t overcrowd the pans or they will steam instead of brown.
- Don’t stir the vegetables too often. Turn them halfway through and leave them alone to brown.
- To save time, you can buy pre-cut vegetables from the grocery store.
- Squeeze the roasted garlic out of the peel before serving.
