Roasted Vegetables with Garlic and Herbs
Description
Roasted Vegetables with Garlic and Herbs uses uniform cuts of potatoes, carrots, and green beans to achieve even roasting. Potatoes and carrots go into the oven first after being coated with olive oil, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. After 20 minutes, green beans mixed with remaining olive oil, garlic, and salt are added to the pan, allowing all vegetables to finish roasting together until tender and golden in spots.
The gradual roasting method ensures that firmer root vegetables cook through without overcooking the green beans. The fresh thyme and rosemary provide a woody, savory herbaceousness, while garlic adds pungency and aroma. The olive oil enhances caramelization and mouthfeel.
Serve these roasted vegetables warm alongside roasted meats, grains, or as part of a vegetarian meal. Their combination of tender interiors and crispy edges makes them satisfying as a hearty side.
Notes recommend cutting all vegetables to similar sizes to promote uniform cooking and roasting results.
