Roasted to golden perfection with garlic, thyme, rosemary, and optional Parmesan cheese, they bring a savory, aromatic presence to any meal.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 cups carrots, peeled and sliced into thick pieces
  • 2 cups zucchini, sliced into thick rounds

Seasonings

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Optional

  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the halved baby potatoes, sliced carrots, and zucchini. Add olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat all vegetables evenly.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the vegetable mixture evenly in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for even roasting.
  4. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even cooking and browning. Roast until the vegetables are tender and slightly golden.
  5. Add Parmesan (Optional): During the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the vegetables if using. This adds a rich, savory flavor and slight crispness on top.
  6. Cool Slightly: Once roasted, remove the vegetables from the oven and let them cool slightly to bring out their flavors.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley before serving for a fresh touch.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, omit the Parmesan cheese or substitute with a dairy-free alternative.
  • For added flavor, drizzle a splash of balsamic vinegar over the vegetables before serving.
  • Feel free to swap herbs like thyme and rosemary with oregano or basil to suit your taste preferences.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully as a side with roasted meats or can be enjoyed as a light vegetarian main course.
