Easy To Make Oven Roasted Vegetables Recipe

Oven Roasted Vegetables

Oven Roasted Vegetables

Ingredients

  • Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees
  • Cut squash and potatoes into chunks. For the asparagus, snap at the appropriate areas for them. This is usually about 1 to 1 1/2 inches from the bottom of the asparagus. Then cut Asparagus in half. Not down the middle in half, but across. We want to leave the spears intact.
  • Next, you will want to mix the vegetables in one bowl. Unless you have a really HUGE bowl, then do like me and use 2 separate bowls.
  • Once the vegetables are in the bowl, sprinkle your EVOO all around the top of them. This will probably wind up being about 1/4 cup.
  • Add all of the seasonings on top. Now, Use the salt and McCormick's pepper mix to your own liking. Everyone has their own salt and pepper threshold. Some might even want to add more rosemary and less basil, but to each their own. With a wooden spatula, fold all of the vegetables and seasoning together. Keep mixing until you are sure that the ingredients are nice and spread out.
  • When done, place your vegetables into a deep baking dish. I had to use two! lol..don't judge me. Cover the dishes with foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Then, take off the foil and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes. If you like your vegetables more al dente, then lessen the covered cooking time.
  • Voila! You're all done! Now just enjoy it! This makes a great "anytime-of-the-year" dish or side dish to appeal to the masses

Instructions

  • 1 bundle of asparagus
  • 1 small bag of snow peas
  • 1 medium to small yellow squash
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 small bag of baby carrots
  • 1 package of grape tomatoes (or cherry tomatoes)
  • 1 small bag of baby red potatoes (a.k.a. red bliss or you can use fingerling potatoes)
  • EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
  • 1 tablespoon Rosemary (If you are using fresh, then it would be 3 tablespoons)
  • 1/2 tablespoon Basil (If you are using fresh, then it would be 1/3 cup basil)
  • McCormick’s steak seasoning’s (pepper mix-it’s part of their Grinders series)
  • Sea Salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • Did you make this recipe?

    1. These were delicious! I LOVE how it makes so much. I am using our leftovers to make pasta primavera tonight! My 3 kids, husband and I can’t wait!!!

      1. I’m so glad you enjoyed these, and yes!! That’s an awesome idea of what to do with the leftovers! I’m so gonna try that out!

    2. Hi Kathy! Thank you for your input on the matter of cooking/heating extra virgin olive oil. Here’s the thing about EVOO (and any and all forms of food oils).: They all have something called a “smoking point.” This when the heat and rate of reaction steadily rises and increases. So, if I just put a table spoon of EVOO in a pan and turned the flame up high…you will notice that it will start smoking and releasing “toxins”. Of course, all forms of smoke is not good for the human body…and you certainly don’t want to eat anything prepared with that. In this cooking process, you have the EVOO being absorbed and creating a layer of flavor (a marinade for it, if you will) with vegetables. The best part is this: the water retention of the vegetables come out to play, and helps balance out the liquid & oil levels in this dish. Therefore, you are actually “diluting” the EVOO with vegetable “juices” that come out from the cooking process. Also, 250 Degrees F is the baseline temperature, but can vary up to 468 Degrees F for a smoking point and break down acrylamide formation and the oxidation of nourishing substances found in Olive Oil.
      Personally, Olive oil is definitely one of the most safest of oils to consume & cook with. I hope this helps!

      1. Thanks everyone. Sure do appreciate your reply and I will be certain to use the right olive oil for what I am doing. thanks for sorting that out to me. I do love roasted veggies and I look forward to trying out the recipe 🙂

        1. So glad we could all help out! From what I heard from many chefs, and I’m NOT a professional, using First Cold First Press is best 🙂

      2. Heading to the store now I see one recipe calls for a sweet potato thee other baby reds .. Which one should I use please

        1. Hi Barbara!
          I would use red potatoes.
          Dr. Axe changed that portion of the recipe, which is fine.
          I personally wouldn’t use sweet potatoes in it.

      1. I’m sure that you can use a large bag of frozen veggies, but I would thaw them out a little bit. You would just need to remember that frozen veggies are flash frozen, and will have a high water retention to it. So, I guess it depends on what type of frozen veggies 🙂

      1. Hi Brooke! I would say this has a shelf life of 3 days. After that, the acidity of the tomatoes would start breaking everything else down into mush.

      1. highlight and paste in word, do same for picture, resize picture,resize font, makes one page.. laminate, put in my recipe book… that is how it is done,,, thank you for this delicious dish…

        1. Loved the myfitnesspal.com idea for nutritional value. What did they use as a serving size. Can’t wait to try this. Thanks

      1. Hi Kimberly! You could absolutely cook this in a crock pot without an issues, though you would get more of a “stew” effect from it. Still sounds super delicious!!

      1. I have been doing EVOO, Salt, pepper, and dried thyme. I have also tried making pesto without the cheese because I freeze it—and using it as my seasonings. You have your basil, garlic and evoo all together.

      2. Hi Jennifer! It’s ok, not too many people are Rosemary Fans. Martha had a great idea of using some Thyme. Some other great ones to try are: Chervil, Cilantro and Tarragon.

    3. also if you buy really good olive oil you can see on the bottle that it will tell you what you can do with it. Some say dipping and dressing some say baking and sautéing and some say for cooking. I am Italian, and we use olive oil for all kinds of cooking and such but it depends on how it is process to use it for all of these things. I have cousins that live in Italy that make olive oil.

      1. I agree with you Joanie! TY so much for your awesome input. I didn’t want to bring up my Italian heritage just yet lol

      1. Hi Shannon,
        I feel that you can definitely freeze this without an issue. If anything, You might want to reduce the cooking time (covered) by 15 minutes. The only reason I suggest is because I never use a microwave to reheat food. If you reheat in the oven, the veggies won’t get that “dried out” effect because it would still contain most of it’s moisture.

    4. What is your guess on how many adults this will serve? Do you think it might be OK for 14 adults as a side?

    5. I don’t care for asparagus (I try it every year to see if I’ve evolved, and thus far – at age 60 – I still haven’t. What could I substitute? Would broccoli work? Or brussels sprouts?

        1. Thank you, Dawn!! That was a choice that I had considered, but just wondered if there was a veggie that had similar nutritional value as asparagus.

    6. I was just wondering if you know the nutritional count on this? It looks delicious but I am also having to watch my calorie count. I would love to try this. Thank you

      1. Unfortunately, I do not know the nutritional count for this. I know it varies from Vegetable to vegetable on which you decide to use. I will see if I can find a chart online 🙂

    7. Made this recipe tonight!!! WE loved it! Making it again tomorrow night and probably a double batch every Sunday to use during the week! I used heirloom carrots instead and fresh herbs. Delicious!

    8. this has been a huge hit and i’ll be making it again tonight…i only wish i had thought to add green beans…the snow peas have a tendency to get overdone for my taste, so i leave them out…i will add green and red peppers tonight…maybe some onion, as well…as long as it’s fresh…it’s gonna be good…i have been touting this to all my carnivore friends (LOL) and hope they will take the proverbial plunge and see how really delicious fresh food can be…SUPERB!

      fwiw, i had to use two of my biggest bowls to get everything mixed together…and i did it by hand instead of with a spoon…be sure to keep clean remnants in order to make your own vegetable stock…i keep a ziploc in the freezer and just add remnants of cut veggies, ends, etc. and make my own stock when the bag looks almost full…no sense in throwing it away when fresh is so much better than canned/boxed stock…

    9. These sound delicious! I want to make them for a party where we will have around 40 guests. Do you think I should double or triple the ingredients? It’s hard to tell how much it will actually make. Thanks!!

      1. Hi Kristin! I’m so sorry that I overlooked your comment. I certainly do send my deepest apologies! IF you haven’t had your party yet, I would say to triple it for 40 people. If they are big eaters, then probably quadruple it and prepare in bigger metal deep dish pans. Again, my sincerest apologies!

      1. Hi Whit! Yes, it will taste super yummy! I would recommend in making sure that they are cut in a chunky type of manner…and not just sliced or diced (minced).

    10. I made this last night and loved it. I would eat veggies everyday if I find recipes like this. Btw that picture enticed me to follow the link off Pinterest.

      1. Hi Rose! I’m so glad you made and loved it! 😀 This truly is my friends and family members favorite thing to eat! A lot lol

    11. Love all the fresh veggies! I use a website ‘myfitnesspal.com’ to keep track of calorie intake. On this site is a tab called recipes where you can paste a recipe’s url and myfitness pal will convert the recipe’s nutritional value for you. I have copied and pasted the nutritional value for oven-roasted vegatables for you!

    12. i cook like this because i’m on the AIP/PALEO diet….now a life style ! if people want to feel better health wise this is the way to go…..

    13. I’ve done this w/different vegt’s in my slow cooker on low. that way I can leave & not worry about them in the oven.
