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 mix*
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables.
- Prepare the vegetables: Wash and chop the broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and summer squash into the specified sizes, ensuring uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Mix seasoning: In a large bowl, stir together the seasoning mix with the olive oil and salt until well combined.
- Toss vegetables: Drizzle the seasoning mixture over the chopped vegetables in the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the seasoned vegetables into a single layer on a baking sheet for even roasting.
- Roast vegetables: Bake the vegetables for 45 to 60 minutes, flipping them once halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and tenderness.
- Manage broccoli browning: If the broccoli starts browning too quickly, remove it from the pan and allow the other vegetables to continue cooking. Return the broccoli to the sheet for the final few minutes to reheat and finish cooking.
- Serve: Serve the roasted vegetable medley warm. It pairs especially well with Lemon Tahini Sauce or as a vibrant side to your favorite main dish.
Notes
- To enhance flavor variety, you can substitute or add other vegetables like bell peppers, sweet potatoes, or Brussels sprouts, adjusting cooking times accordingly.
- Use your preferred seasoning blend such as Italian herbs, garlic powder, or smoked paprika for different flavor profiles.
- For quicker cooking, try roasting at a higher temperature but reduce the time and keep a close eye on the vegetables to prevent burning.
- If you want to avoid using the oven, this medley can also be cooked in an air fryer following appropriate time and temperature adjustments.
- Make sure to spread the vegetables in a single layer to ensure crisp, caramelized edges rather than steaming.
