How to Make Garlic Herb Roasted Veggies That Are Seriously Addictive

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a large bowl, combine the baby carrots, zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion with the minced garlic.
3. Drizzle the olive oil over the veggies, then sprinkle with dried thyme, rosemary, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
4. Toss everything together until the veggies are evenly coated with oil and herbs.
5. Spread the veggies out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
6. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned around the edges.
7. Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
8. Serve warm as a side dish or toss with cooked grains or pasta for a hearty main course.

Tips for the Best Results

• Cut vegetables to similar sizes for even cooking and caramelization.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan — give veggies space to roast properly.
• Use fresh herbs when possible for brighter flavor, but dried herbs work great too.
• Stir halfway through roasting to prevent burning and ensure even browning.
• Experiment with different veggies like Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, or asparagus for variety.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover garlic herb roasted veggies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They make a fantastic quick lunch addition or easy side for dinner on busy days.

For reheating, simply warm them in a skillet over medium heat until heated through or spread on a baking sheet and reheat in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes to regain crisp edges.
