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
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Vegetables: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Chop all the vegetables as directed: broccoli and cauliflower into florets, carrots into ¼-inch thick coins, and summer squash chopped. Prepare your seasoning blend if not pre-mixed.
- Toss Vegetables with Seasoning: In a large bowl or directly on a baking sheet, drizzle the olive oil, seasoning, and salt over the chopped vegetables. Toss well to evenly coat all pieces with the oil and spices.
- Arrange and Roast: Spread the vegetables into a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even cooking. Place the sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast and Flip: Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through cooking to promote even browning and tenderness. Check for carrot tenderness to determine doneness.
- Manage Broccoli Browning: If the broccoli gets too browned before the other vegetables are done, remove it from the pan temporarily. Allow the remaining vegetables to finish cooking, then return the broccoli to the baking sheet for the last few minutes just to reheat.
- Serve: Remove the roasting pan from the oven and serve the roasted vegetable medley warm. It pairs wonderfully with Lemon Tahini Sauce or your favorite dip or main dish.
Notes
- Use a light coating of olive oil and salt to keep the flavors neutral and versatile.
- This roasting method works well with other vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or Brussels sprouts—adjust cooking times accordingly.
- If using an air fryer, reduce cooking time and check vegetables often to prevent burning.
- The seasoning blend can be customized to your preference, including herbs like thyme, rosemary, or spices like paprika.
- Make sure to cut vegetables into similar sizes for even roasting.
