How to Make Garlic Herb Roasted Veggies That Are Seriously Addictive
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrots, zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion.
- Add the minced garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, rosemary, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the veggies. Toss well to coat evenly.
- Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they aren’t overcrowded to ensure they roast properly.
- Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through. The veggies should be tender with golden, slightly crispy edges.
- Remove from oven and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
- Serve warm as a side dish or toss with cooked grains or pasta for a hearty meal.
Tips for the Best Results
- Cut vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even roasting.
- Don’t skip tossing the veggies halfway through cooking to promote browning.
- Use fresh herbs if available; add them at the end to retain their flavor.
- For extra crispiness, roast veggies on a preheated baking sheet.
- Adjust seasoning to your taste—add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftover garlic herb roasted veggies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They make a great next-day side or salad topping.
To reheat, warm them gently in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to help regain their roasted texture. Avoid microwaving to keep them from becoming soggy.
