Ingredients
For the Roasted Veggies:
- 1 lb baby potatoes (red or gold), halved
- 1 cup baby carrots (or sliced regular carrots)
- 1 cup fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2: Prep the Veggies
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, baby carrots, and trimmed green beans.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the veggies and toss to coat evenly.
Step 3: Season the Veggies
- Add the minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss everything together until the veggies are well-coated with the seasoning mixture.
Step 4: Arrange on the Baking Sheet
- Spread the seasoned veggies out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they’re not overcrowded—this ensures even roasting and caramelization.
Step 5: Roast the Veggies
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping the veggies halfway through, until they’re tender, caramelized, and slightly crispy around the edges.
- For extra browning, broil the veggies for 2–3 minutes at the end of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
- Remove the veggies from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for an extra pop of color and flavor.
- Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a light main course.
Tips for Success
- Veggie Variations: Feel free to swap or add other veggies like broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, zucchini, or cauliflower. Just make sure to cut them into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.
- Fresh Herbs: If you have fresh herbs on hand, use 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh thyme, rosemary, or oregano instead of dried Italian seasoning for a brighter flavor.
- Make It Cheesy: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the veggies during the last 5 minutes of roasting for a cheesy twist.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
