Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium potatoes, cut into chunks
- 2 carrots, sliced thick
- 1 zucchini, cut into half-moons
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 small eggplant, cubed
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, lightly crushed
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F or 220°C and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
- Wash and dry all vegetables well, then cut them into similar-sized pieces so they roast evenly.
- Place the potatoes, carrots, zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, eggplant, and garlic in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the olive oil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Toss the vegetables well until every piece looks evenly coated with oil and herbs.
- Spread the vegetables onto the prepared baking tray in a single layer, leaving space between pieces.
- Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables feel tender and the edges turn golden brown.
- Remove the tray from the oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the hot vegetables.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
For the best roasted texture, do not crowd the baking tray. Use two trays if needed. You can swap eggplant for mushrooms, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, or cherry tomatoes. Add crumbled feta after roasting for a Greek-inspired finish. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to bring back the golden edges.
