How To Make Oven Roasted Vegetables
Step One:
The great thing about making oven roasted vegetables is that you can choose your favorite veggies to roast. I’ve roasted cauliflower, broccoli, brussels sprouts, carrots, green beans, and squash.
Depending on how much time you have and what vegetables you have on hand, you can use fresh or frozen veggies.
For this recipe, I precooked frozen vegetables in the microwave to lessen the amount of time they need to roast in the oven. This can be done with fresh veggies as well.
Cut the vegetables into pieces that are roughly the same size so that they cook more evenly.
Put vegetables in a bowl. Add the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat.
Step Two:
Spread the vegetables out in an even layer in a rimmed baking sheet.
Step Three:
Bake at 425˚F for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, or until tender, golden brown and caramelized.
Depending on the type of vegetables (how dense they are), if they are frozen, or if they are precooked, and how crispy you like them, the roasting time can take longer.
Oven Roasted Vegetables FAQs
1. What vegetables work well for roasting? I’ve roasted broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, zucchini, asparagus, peppers, and squash.
2. How can I make oven roasted vegetables for a crowd? The vegetables shrink significantly in size so you will need to make more than you would if you made steamed vegetables. Fill two pans with veggies and bake them on separate oven racks.
