# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Choose 3 to 4 vegetables from the base list and chop them into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. Aim for 6-8 cups of chopped vegetables.
03 -
In a large bowl, toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil, minced garlic, fresh herbs, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
04 -
Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for optimal roasting.
05 -
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning. Cook until the edges are golden and crispy, and the centers are tender.
06 -
Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving dish and add any optional finishing touches while still hot, such as Parmesan, lemon zest, or red pepper flakes.
# Notes:
01 -
Roast vegetables in high heat and space them out on the baking sheet to avoid steaming.
02 -
Garlic can be added during the last 5 minutes of roasting to prevent burning.
03 -
Roasted vegetables keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days, making them ideal for meal prep.
04 -
For enhanced flavor, drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
05 -
Cook denser vegetables, such as sweet potatoes and carrots, for 10 minutes longer than quicker-cooking vegetables.
