Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
Seasonings & Extras
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Prepare the potatoes and carrots: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes and sliced carrots with olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Make sure the vegetables are evenly coated with the seasoning mix.
- Roast potatoes and carrots: Spread the seasoned potatoes and carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to begin softening and browning the vegetables.
- Add the zucchini: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the sliced zucchini to the roasted potatoes and carrots. Gently toss to combine everything evenly.
- Continue roasting: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender and have a light golden-brown color.
- Finish and serve: Once done, optionally sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the warm vegetables. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a bright, fresh flavor before serving.
Notes
- Cut vegetables into similar sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Add zucchini later in the cooking process to prevent it from becoming too soft.
- Feel free to swap herbs to suit your taste or add a squeeze of lemon juice for extra brightness.
