Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cups cauliflower florets
- 3 cups chopped carrots (cut into ¼-inch thick coins)
- 3 cups chopped summer squash (like zucchini and yellow squash)
Seasoning
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp seasoning blend (such as Italian seasoning or your favorite spice mix)
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables evenly.
- Prepare Vegetables: Chop all vegetables as directed, ensuring carrots are cut into ¼-inch thick coins for even cooking. Stir together your chosen seasoning blend.
- Toss Vegetables: In a large bowl or directly on a baking sheet, drizzle the olive oil and seasoning over the chopped vegetables. Toss well to coat every piece evenly for balanced flavor.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the vegetables into a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure they roast properly without steaming.
- Roast Vegetables: Bake in the preheated oven for up to 60 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through to promote even roasting. If broccoli starts to brown too quickly, remove it from the pan, allow other vegetables to continue cooking fully, then return broccoli for the last few minutes to reheat.
- Serve Warm: Once the vegetables are tender and nicely roasted, serve them warm. They pair wonderfully with a Lemon Tahini Sauce or your favorite dip.
Notes
- Use a variety of colorful vegetables to maximize nutrients and visual appeal.
- If you prefer a faster cooking method, these vegetables can also be roasted in an air fryer with appropriate temperature and time adjustments.
- Tossing vegetables with a light coating of oil ensures crispness and caramelization without sogginess.
- For a salt-free option, omit the salt and enhance flavor with lemon juice or herbs after roasting.
- Ensure vegetables are spread out in a single layer to avoid steaming and promote roasting.
