🧂 Ingredients (U.S. Standard Measurements)
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved (or quartered if large)
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into ½-inch thick slices
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ¾ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Optional: fresh parsley or grated Parmesan for garnish
🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup.
2. Prep the Vegetables
Place the halved baby potatoes, carrots, and zucchini in a large mixing bowl.
3. Season
Add olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated.
4. Roast
Spread the vegetables evenly on the baking sheet. Roast for 35–40 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and everything is golden brown on the edges.
5. Garnish & Serve
Sprinkle with fresh parsley or Parmesan (optional) and serve hot.
🔁 Variation (From Me!)
🍠 Sweet Potato & Brussels Sprouts Twist
Swap half the carrots for sweet potatoes and the zucchini for halved Brussels sprouts. Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze after roasting for a gourmet touch.
🧠 Tips & Tricks
- Cut veggies to similar sizes so they cook evenly.
- For extra crispiness, don’t overcrowd the pan — use two sheets if necessary.
- Add the zucchini halfway through baking if you prefer it less soft.
- Great for meal prep! Store in an airtight container and reheat in the oven or air fryer.
- Elevate the flavor with a splash of lemon juice or fresh herbs right before serving.
