Roasted Vegetables offer a crispy, straightforward, and healthy side dish prepared with fresh vegetables, basic seasonings, and herbs. They're an ideal addition to lunch or dinner, allowing you to savor the goodness of veggies with ease.
In a bowl, combine garlic powder, chili powder, pepper powder, salt, and dried rosemary. Mix them thoroughly and set the seasoning aside for later use.
To Prepare the Vegetables
Cut the zucchini into thick circular shapes, or alternatively into thick cubes for faster cooking. Discard the ends of the zucchini.
Remove the stems from the bell peppers, then cut them into small cubes.
To prepare the onions, remove their outer skin, and then cube them while separating the layers. This technique enhances the caramelization of the onions during the roasting process in the oven.
Discard the thick stems of the cauliflower and broccoli, and separate their florets.
Cube the potatoes into medium-sized pieces, leaving the skin on after thorough washing.
Transfer all the chopped vegetables into a bowl and drizzle them with oil, lemon juice, and the prepared seasoning mix. Toss everything together until well incorporated.
To Roast the Vegetables
Arrange the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on an oil-greased baking tray, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Roast the vegetables in a preheated oven at 400°F for approximately 20 to 25 minutes or until they become crisp and tender.
Once done, remove the Roasted Vegetables from the oven. They are now ready for you to savor and enjoy!
To Serve
Enjoy these crispy Oven Roasted Vegetables alongside baked chicken breast, baked salmon, grilled salmon, or oven-roasted chicken. You can also incorporate them into stir-fries, fried rice, or omelets for added versatility.
