Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 lb baby potatoes (red or gold), halved
- 1 cup baby carrots (or sliced regular carrots)
- 1 cup fresh green beans, trimmed
Seasonings & Oil
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy clean-up and prevent sticking.
- Season Potatoes and Carrots: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes and baby carrots with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Roast Potatoes and Carrots: Spread the seasoned potatoes and carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place in the oven and roast for 25 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting and browning.
- Prepare Green Beans: While the potatoes and carrots are roasting, toss the trimmed green beans with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt to season.
- Add Green Beans and Continue Roasting: After the initial 25 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the seasoned green beans, spreading them evenly with the other vegetables. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and optional red pepper flakes for a bit of heat. Serve warm and enjoy your healthy, flavorful roasted veggie medley!
Notes
- If you prefer softer vegetables, roast a few minutes longer until desired tenderness is reached.
- Red pepper flakes can be omitted or adjusted to taste based on spice preference.
- For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminium foil for easier cleanup.
- Feel free to substitute vegetables based on seasonality or preference, such as zucchini or bell peppers.
