Roasted Vegetables

These delicious easy oven roasted vegetables are a great side dish and also for meal prep! I love making a big batch at the beginning of the week and eating them for lunch. Onions, sweet potatoes, red onion, zucchini and carrots drizzled in balsamic, seasoned and roasted to perfection in the oven!

These roasted vegetables are on of my go-to recipes for a simple and easy side dish! I love making them when I need a healthy addition to a meal. They’re also great to make in bulk to eat throughout the week. A perfect recipe to add to your meal prep basics.

It’s always great to have some vegetables, like these roasted mixed veggies, roasted air fryer sweet potatoes, roasted cauliflower, or parmesan roasted butternut squash sitting in the fridge. They’re just waiting for me whenever I need them! I’d rather have roasted vegetables then raw ones, so it helps when I have them made up for the week.

Sheet pan roasted vegetables are a great way to get more veggies into your diet. They taste absolutely incredible and will be a staple recipe for many different occasions.

How to Make Roasted Vegetables

1. The first thing you need to do is make sure none of the vegetables overlap. If they overlap the vegetables will steam and not roast. You want them to roast so they get that delicious caramelization and flavor. This essential to making the perfect oven roasted vegetables. Use a big sheet pan or two smaller pans with sides.
2. Season the vegetables! Drizzle the olive oil over all of the veggies and add minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper and then toss to coat the veggies well. Add the balsamic vinegar and toss again.
3. At the halfway point in the roasting time, remove the veggies from the oven and flip them. This will ensure that they all get roasted nice and evenly.
4. Once roasted, remove pan from the oven and serve immediately with any main dish you want!

How to Store Leftover Roasted Vegetables

Place roasted veggies into an airtight container or zip top plastic bag. Store in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

I do not recommend freezing roasted veggies as they tend to change texture after being thawed and then reheated.

How to Reheat Leftovers

To reheat, place on a baking sheet and back into the oven until warm. You can also reheat on the stove top or in the microwave. However, the veggies are more likely to maintain that slight crispy crunch if they’re reheated in the oven.

What to Serve with this Roasted Vegetables Recipe

I love making easy air fryer chicken parmesan and crockpot chicken and stuffing to pair it with these roasted vegetables! This southwestern pork tenderloin is great paired with oven roasted vegetables too.

Balsamic crock pot roast goes well with side dish too and brings out the light flavor of balsamic on the vegetables. Or, make things extra easy on yourself and serve alongside something like air fryer steak bites with garlic butter!

Pasta dishes always go well with sheet pan roasted vegetables too. I like to serve it when I make baked rigatoni and chicken alfredo.

What is the best temperature to roast vegetables?

400 degrees Fahrenheit is the perfect temperature for roasting vegetables. It’s important not to do too high of a temp so that the outside of the veggies don’t scorch. You want a medium-high temperature so that the vegetables roast to the perfect texture and create a caramelized, crunchy outside.

These colorful roasted vegetables are packed with flavor. Even if you are not a fan of veggies, you’ll love how these turn out. Tender and flavorful, with just a slight crunch on the outside edges!
