How to Make Roasted Vegetables
Here are the easy step-by-step instructions to make this easy side.
1 – Veggies: Cut the veggies to desired sizes and toss in a bowl, be sure to keep them uniform in size.
2 – Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients.
3 – Combine: Next, you want to pour the sauce over the vegetables, and toss to combine. Then, spread veggies evenly on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
4 – Bake: Finally, bake the vegetables in the oven at 425°F, for 10 minutes. Mix lightly and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until desired doneness.
Expert Tips for the BEST Vegetables:
- Customize: Diversify the roasted veggies by adding in your favorite vegetables. In addition, you can even use sweet potatoes or butternut squash.
- Flavor: Elevate the taste of your roasted vegetables by incorporating fresh herbs, such as rosemary, basil, oregano, or thyme.
- Prep: For even cooking make sure to cut vegetables into even-sized florets, and strips.
- Space: When laying out the vegetables, leave space between them so that the entire surface area gets direct heat.
- Heat: Be sure that you are putting the vegetables into the oven once the oven is at 425°F. Putting them in at a lower temperature won’t give them that roasted exterior.
- Serving: Just because these are hot vegetables doesn’t mean they won’t pair wonderfully with homemade ranch, or a drizzle of a simple balsamic vinegar glaze!

Recipe FAQs
You can use parchment paper to prevent sticking or a little bit of oil over the baking sheet.
If you want an extra crispy exterior on your veggies, wait until they are done cooking, and set the oven to a high broil for about 2-5 minutes.
If your vegetables are too crowded in the pan, this can result in them steaming rather than roasting. Be sure to leave more space between them or even cook them in multiple batches.
Store & Reheat
- Storage. Roasted vegetables can be stored in an airtight container, refrigerated, for up to 4 days.
- Reheat. Reheat refrigerated vegetables by warming them on a skillet over low-medium heat, or in the oven at a lower temperature.
- Freeze. Vegetables can be frozen before roasting, making an accessible vegetable mix. Store for up to 3 months. Reheat: Arrange frozen veggies on a baking sheet and bake at 425° for 15-20 minutes.
