Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cups cauliflower florets
- 3 cups chopped carrots (cut into ¼-inch thick coins)
- 3 cups chopped summer squash (like zucchini and yellow squash)
Seasoning
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp seasoning blend*
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Prep the Oven and Vegetables: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Chop all vegetables as indicated. Stir together your chosen seasoning blend to have it ready for tossing.
- Season the Vegetables: In a large bowl or directly on a baking sheet, drizzle the olive oil, seasoning, and salt over the chopped vegetables. Toss thoroughly to evenly coat all pieces with the oil and spices.
- Arrange Vegetables for Roasting: Spread the coated vegetables into a single layer on a baking sheet in preparation for roasting.
- Roast the Vegetables: Bake the vegetables for 45 to 60 minutes, flipping them once halfway through to ensure even cooking. When the carrots are tender and the vegetables are nicely roasted, proceed to the next step.
- Manage Broccoli Browning: If broccoli begins to brown too quickly during roasting, remove it temporarily from the pan to prevent burning. Allow all other vegetables to finish cooking fully, then return the broccoli to the pan for the final few minutes of roasting just to reheat it.
- Serve Warm: Serve the roasted vegetable medley while warm. It pairs well with sauces such as lemon tahini for extra flavor.
Notes
- Use a variety of fresh vegetables for best flavor and texture.
- The seasoning blend can be customized to your taste; common choices include garlic powder, paprika, oregano, and black pepper.
- If you prefer, this vegetable medley can be cooked using an air fryer following appropriate timing adjustments.
- To keep textures consistent, cut vegetables uniformly.
- For a dairy-free and vegan option, serve with lemon tahini or your favorite plant-based sauce.
