The easiest, simplest, and BEST way to roast vegetables – perfectly tender and packed with so much flavor!
Featured Comment
I had a bunch of lingering veggies in the fridge from various things I made earlier in the week, so I decided to make my very own roasted veggies. A basic clean-out-the-fridge type meal.
I kept it super simple using fresh garlic, dried thyme, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar – my ultimate weakness. Best of all, I only used veggies that I like. I tend to pick out certain veggies if they are not to my liking – like brussels sprouts. Sorry, not a fan at all.
But if the vegetables listed here are not your favorites, this recipe can easily accommodate tons of other veggies. Just make sure you get that extra balsamic vinegar and garlic – you can never have too much of either!

Luv the recipe; I added Anaheim chiles, which I usually roast on the bbq, lovely medley of flavors !!
Roasted veggies are my snack food. On the fly and with small amounts, I roast them in my toaster oven on foil-lined tray for easy clean up. In this small space, I include one veggie at a time as différent varieties need different cooking times.
I’ve learned to mix all the veggies, oil, spices, etc. in a zip loc bag. The veggies get coated really well and I waste less of the oil, etc. I’m going out and add some balsamic to my usual recipe. Sounds great!
We love this, and you can be sure I’ll never be using brussel sprouts either.
I was searching the internet for a simple roasted vegetable recipe because my husband and I are hosting our first “real” dinner party as newlyweds. We are definitely incorporating this into our menu this weekend. Thanks!
I make this every week! So delicious! Thanks for sharing!
I’ve made this twice now and love it..!! The only difference I made the 1st time I put all the veggies in a bowl added the balsamic vinegar and seasonings and tossed. I found that was easier. The 2nd time I was planning to grill the veggies in a pan with holes in it (had to much for my grill basket) using asparagus instead of the broccoli. Also instead of the balsamic vinegar I was using “Sun Dried Tomato” salad dressing. I had marinated my chicken in the same dressing to grill when a huge storm forced us inside. That’s when I decided to roast the veggies. I just laid them out on a cookie sheet and baked until desired crunchiness. Definitely worth trying & you can use veggies of your choice. Thanks for your recipes!!
Got tired of stringing kabobs and trying to deal with enough grill space, flipping the skewers, or veggies falling off the skewer – I have been doing this ever since. Don’t even need to wait for nice weather to grill out anymore. Save myself even more time by getting precut veggies when pressed for time. Save time, saves grill space, less stressful, less cleanup, more flavoring options too I think vs grill.
Love this site!
ALL OF US WHO LOVE ROASTED VEGGIES SHOULD TRY… RADISHES..YES RADISHES.. INTO YOUR MIX.
You won’t believe how good they are!
I am making these roasted veggies now. Can’t wait to try them!
I have a question/thought
I am a big fan of prepping and freezing or cooking and freezing, this way I can get the majority of my cooking done one or two days a month.
In my exeperience roasted veggies are just not the same after being reheated.
Is it a good idea to prep and sort into individual serving sizes and freeze the uncooked veggies and then just pull what I need to roast? If so, would I toss in my oil and seasoning mix prior to freezing or prior to cooking? And should I allow the veggies to thaw fully before roasting?
Thanks for any advice!
Hello! This looks amazing. I am considering doing this for a side dish this weekend for our Canadian thanksgiving. There will be 17 adults and 7 kids – would you times this recipe by 4 to make sure there is enough for everyone?
Thanks so much for any input.

This is delicious as all your other recipes as well. What a great side dish.
Just making roasted veggies for dinner.Don’t have balsamic vinegar so putting in a little apple cedar vinegar. Smells delicious.
Hello! I’m planning on making this for my vegetarian boyfriend this week, unfortunately he hates balsamic vinaigrette with a passion that burns with the heat of one thousand suns. But, I still wanted to add something to give it some extra flavor; any suggestions?
Can you freeze after baking ?
I make a packet out of foil. Put the veggies in large bowl. Sprinkle with oil, balsamic, seasonings, toss to cover. Put in packet of foil. Fold foil to make tight. Put on grill before meat. Grill 20-30 min. Soooooo good.
I roast all kinds of veg. In little virgin oil, plus I chop
Up fresh rosemary and chopped basil plus chopped sweet potatoe. Very yummy. .
Re brussell sprouts…I use frozen whole ones, frozen pearl onions, thaw both in micro wave. Melt butter, paprika, brown sugar in skillet, not on high..medium. Cut sprouts in
half then put all in skillet and saute and brown till they are really coated with all the goodness in the skillet..ENJOY!! Measures for butter, paprika & brown sugar..depends is you like it kinda sweet or not..use other spice if you like it HOT..I rarely measure if I am cooking not baking..

This looks great! I love roasted veggies! However, I also LOVE brussels sprouts sautéed this way: Cut sprouts in half vertically. Place each half, cut-side down, in a hot skillet with coconut oil (or other cooking oil) on medium-high heat. Drizzle sprouts with red wine vinegar; then sprinkle a handful of brown sugar over (probably about 1/3 c – 1/2 c of each for a large skillet). Cook for about 5-7 min. until cut sides are browned. Sprinkle with sea salt. It’s delicious!!
I haven’t tried the vinegar yet, sounds good. I do like to add a little Wishbone Italian dressing. That gives them a nice added flavor as well.
