Roasted Vegetable Medley with Herbs
A colorful and flavorful medley of roasted vegetables seasoned with herbs and olive oil. An easy and healthy side dish for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 head Broccoli florets
- 2 Carrots
- 1 Red Onion
- 1 Zucchini
- 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried Herbs (Italian blend or Herbs de Provence)
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash all the vegetables thoroughly.
Preparing the Vegetables
Cut the broccoli into florets. Peel and slice the carrots into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Peel and quarter the red onion. Cut the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick slices. Leave the cherry tomatoes whole.
Seasoning
In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, carrots, red onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with dried herbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat all the vegetables evenly.
Roasting
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly browned. Toss the vegetables halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the roasted vegetable medley warm as a side dish. It pairs well with grilled chicken, fish, or tofu. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and enjoyed cold or reheated.
Additional Tips
For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of roasting. You can also add other vegetables such as bell peppers, Brussels sprouts, or asparagus to the medley.

FAQ
-
Can I use different herbs?
Yes, feel free to experiment with different herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano. -
Can I roast the vegetables at a higher temperature?
Roasting at a higher temperature (e.g., 425°F or 220°C) will result in a more caramelized flavor, but be sure to watch the vegetables closely to prevent burning. -
How do I prevent the vegetables from getting soggy?
Make sure to spread the vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet and don't overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding can cause the vegetables to steam instead of roast.
