Ingredients
Scale
Main Vegetables:
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved (or quartered if large)
- 1 cup carrots, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare workspace by lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper and heating oven to 400F (200C).
- Gather all vegetables in a spacious mixing bowl, ensuring they are clean and roughly chopped into similar-sized pieces for even roasting.
- Create a flavor foundation by generously drizzling olive oil over the vegetables, allowing each piece to become glistening and receptive to seasonings.
- Sprinkle minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper across the vegetables, using hands to massage and distribute seasonings thoroughly.
- Carefully spread seasoned vegetables onto the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer without overcrowding to promote optimal caramelization.
- Place baking sheet in preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, rotating pan midway to ensure uniform browning and tenderness.
- Check vegetable doneness by piercing potatoes with a fork – they should yield easily and display a golden, crispy exterior.
- Remove roasted vegetables from oven and immediately garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant, aromatic finish.
- Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy immediately as a robust, flavorful side dish complementing various main courses.
Notes
- Slice vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking and a professional-looking presentation.
- Use high-quality fresh herbs for maximum flavor intensity and aromatic roasting experience.
- Pat vegetables completely dry before seasoning to achieve crispy, golden-brown edges during roasting.
- Customize spice blend by experimenting with additional herbs like oregano or adding red pepper flakes for subtle heat.
