How to Make Garlic Herb Roasted Vegetables
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
2. Season the Vegetables
In a large bowl, add the potatoes and carrots. Drizzle with olive oil, then add the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss until everything is well coated.
3. Roast the Potatoes and Carrots
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes, stirring once halfway to ensure even cooking.
4. Add the Zucchini
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, add the zucchini, and gently mix. Return to the oven and roast for another 15–20 minutes, until all vegetables are tender and golden.
5. Serve
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Tips for Perfect Roasted Vegetables
- Do not overcrowd the pan; use two baking sheets if needed
- Cut vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking
- For extra crispiness, roast on the middle rack
- Add parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes for a richer flavor
