Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 lb baby potatoes (red or gold, halved)
- 1 cup baby carrots (whole or sliced)
- 1 cup fresh green beans (trimmed)
Seasoning & Oil
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, whole baby carrots, and trimmed fresh green beans to get the veggies ready for seasoning.
- Coat with Oil: Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is evenly coated for optimal roasting.
- Add Seasonings: Add the minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the mixture again until all ingredients are well combined and spread flavor evenly.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Roast Vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the veggies halfway through the cooking time to achieve uniform roasting and color.
- Broil for Crispiness: Switch the oven setting to broil for the last 2 to 3 minutes to add a crispy finish, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve: Remove the roasted veggies from the oven, transfer to a serving dish, and optionally garnish with fresh herbs before serving to enhance flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use parchment paper or grease the baking sheet well to prevent vegetables from sticking.
- Flip the vegetables halfway through roasting to ensure even browning and cook.
- Watch vegetables closely during broiling as they can burn quickly.
