Sheet Pan Roasted Vegetables (AI Generated)
High heat, good browning, minimal effort. The universal side dish.
Ingredients
Pick 3–4 from each group for variety:
Hard Vegetables (cut to ¾ inch pieces)
- Broccoli florets
- Cauliflower florets
- Sweet potato
- Carrots
- Brussels sprouts (halved)
- Red onion (wedges)
Seasoning
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Optional: smoked paprika, cumin, za’atar, or Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment.
- Cut all vegetables to roughly the same size. This is the whole secret — even sizes means even cooking.
- Toss with olive oil and seasonings on the pan. Spread in a single layer with space between pieces. Use two pans if crowded. Crowding = steaming = sad.
- Roast 25–30 minutes, flipping once at the 15-minute mark.
- Vegetables are done when browned on edges and tender when pierced with a knife.
Notes
- Don’t mix hard and soft vegetables on the same pan. Zucchini, bell peppers, and mushrooms cook in 15–20 min. Root vegetables need 25–35.
- Convection/air fry mode is ideal if your oven has it. Drop temp to 400°F.
- These keep 4–5 days in the fridge. Reheat in a hot pan, not the microwave.
