How to Roast Vegetables in the Oven?
The recipe I have shared here is a simple, healthy, and easy way to roast veggies. I have used simple seasoning to roast the veggies and feel free to customize the veggies or seasonings according to your preferences.
Following are the high-level instructions to make this recipe but for detailed step-by-step instructions with photos and video, please check out the recipe card below.
- Prep Seasoning - In a bowl, add garlic powder, chili powder, pepper powder, salt, and dried rosemary. Give everything a good mix and reserve it for later use
- Cut Zucchini - Now cut the zucchini into thick circular shapes. Since Zucchinis cook faster you can also cut them into thick cubes. Feel free to discard the end of the veggie
- Core and Cut - Core or cut the stem of the bell peppers and cut them into small cubes
- Separate the florets - Discard the thick stems of cauliflower and broccoli and separate their florets
- Peel and Cut - Remove the outer skin of the onions and cut them into cubes and separate the layers as shown in the picture. This helps the onions to caramelize while roasting in the oven
- Cube the Potatoes - Cut the potatoes into medium size cubes and I suggest not peeling the skin instead just wash them thoroughly before chopping
- Season - Transfer all the chopped vegetables into a bowl and drizzle oil, lemon juice, and prepared seasoning mix. Toss well until everything is incorporated
- Arrange - Now arrange the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on an oil-greased baking tray. Make sure not to overcrowd the baking tray
- Roast - Roast the vegetables in a preheated oven at 400° F for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the veggies turn crisp and tender
- Remove - Remove the Roasted Vegetables from the oven and it is now ready for you to taste and enjoy
How long to Roast Vegetables?
I roasted the vegetables at 400° F for about 25 to 30 minutes or until they turned tender and crispy. But you can also roast between 375°F to 425°F and the time may vary depending on the temperature settings. Higher the temperature setting, the time to roast the veggies will be low.
But sometimes the veggies may burn on the exterior if the temperature is very high keeping the inside still raw. So I would recommend roasting the veggies between 375°F to 400°F for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the exterior is crispy. These temperature settings and times will also deliver nicely caramelized veggies that you and your family would love.
Seasoning Ideas for Roasted Vegetables
Even though I have used basic seasoning spice powders to season the veggies here, feel free to use other seasonings of your choice. I have shared some of the seasoning ideas below for different flavors and tastes.
- Garlic Butter Sauce - Toss the veggies with garlic butter sauce for buttery rich roasted veggies
- Garlic Parmesan - Add a few crushed garlic before roasting the veggies and finally garnish the roasted veggies with fresh parmesan cheese
- Honey and Garlic - Add a tbsp of honey, garlic, chili flakes, and salt to season the veggies and roast them for honey-licious roasted veggies
- Curry Powder and Spices - Craving spicy roasted vegetables, add a splash of curry powder, cumin powder, and paprika for seasoning them
- Balsamic Vinegar - Add a dash of Balsamic vinegar, black pepper, salt, chili flakes, and honey for a flavor loaded oven roasted vegetables

Since root vegetables, soft vegetables, and cruciferous veggies cook differently at different times. So I recommend cutting them in proper sizes as mentioned in the recipe card below

If you are planning to serve it as a side dish then I recommend serving it hot or warm as soon as it is from the oven. But you can store the leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days in an airtight container. The leftovers can be used n omelets, fried rice, stir-fried noodles, or salads.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these crispy Oven Roasted Vegetable with rice, baked chicken breast, baked salmon, grilled salmon, air fryer salmon, oven-roasted chicken, or baked chicken drumsticks, or use the leftovers in stir-fries, fried rice, or omelets
