Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 3 large carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
Seasonings and Oil
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to roast the vegetables to a tender, browned finish.
- Combine Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, place the halved baby potatoes, sliced carrots, and zucchini half-moons, preparing them for seasoning.
- Add Olive Oil and Seasonings: Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and toss to coat them evenly. Sprinkle garlic powder, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables and toss again thoroughly to distribute the seasonings.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the coated vegetables in a single, even layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even roasting.
- Roast the Vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes. Flip the vegetables halfway through cooking to ensure they roast evenly on all sides and become tender and golden brown.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and optionally sprinkle the roasted vegetables with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor. Serve warm as a nutritious side dish.
Notes
- Cut all vegetables into similar sizes to promote even roasting.
- Feel free to add diced onions or bell peppers for extra flavor and variety.
- This dish pairs wonderfully as a side for roasted chicken, grilled meats, or other main courses.
