Why You’ll Love It
Roasted vegetables are one of the easiest, healthiest, and most versatile dishes you can make. You can use whatever’s in your fridge—carrots, broccoli, zucchini, or potatoes—and the method stays the same. Roasting concentrates the natural sugars in the vegetables, giving them an irresistible caramelized edge while keeping the insides soft and juicy.
This recipe is vegan, gluten-free, and meal-prep friendly. Whether served as a side or tossed into salads, pastas, or grain bowls, it’s a flavorful way to eat more veggies—and enjoy every bite.
Ingredients
- 2 cups chopped carrots
- 2 cups chopped bell peppers
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: balsamic vinegar or lemon juice for finishing
How To Make Roasted Vegetables
Roasting vegetables brings out their natural sweetness and creates crisp, caramelized edges you’ll love. Follow these simple steps for perfectly roasted veggies every time.
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). A high temperature is key for caramelization, giving your vegetables that irresistible golden-brown edge.
Step 2: Prep the Veggies
Using your Double-Sided Titanium Cutting Board, chop your vegetables into similar-sized pieces for even cooking. The board’s dual sides help you keep raw and finished produce separate and your space tidy. Use the Japanese Kiritsuki Knife for clean, precise cuts—especially helpful with tough carrots or soft zucchini.
Step 3: Season Generously
Place chopped veggies in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
Step 4: Spread and Roast
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Don’t overcrowd—this causes steaming instead of roasting. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until veggies are tender and edges are browned.
Step 5: Finish and Serve
Optional: drizzle with balsamic vinegar or lemon juice before serving. Serve hot as a side or mix into bowls, salads, or pastas.
