Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 cups bell peppers (mixed colors), chopped
- 1 cup zucchini, cubed
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed
- 1 medium red onion, sliced
Seasonings & Oil
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and allow it to fully preheat, ensuring optimal roasting temperature.
- Prepare the vegetables: Wash all the vegetables thoroughly. Chop bell peppers into bite-sized pieces, cube the zucchini and sweet potatoes evenly, and slice the red onion into thin wedges to ensure even cooking.
- Toss veggies with seasonings: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the veggies are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Spread the seasoned vegetables out in a single layer, making sure they’re not overcrowded to allow even roasting and caramelization.
- Roast the vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes. Halfway through cooking, stir or flip the vegetables to ensure they brown evenly and become tender throughout.
- Serve: Once perfectly roasted with golden edges and a tender bite, remove from the oven and serve warm or at room temperature as a healthy and flavorful side dish.
Notes
- Cut vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Stirring halfway through roasting promotes even browning.
- You can add other seasonings like smoked paprika or chili flakes for extra flavor.
- Use parchment paper for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
