Description
Garlic Herb Roasted Veggies are a wholesome, simple dish made from tender baby potatoes, sweet carrots, and crisp green beans, all tossed in olive oil, garlic, and herbs. Roasted to perfection, they develop caramelized edges and rich, savory flavors that pair perfectly with any main course or stand proudly on their own.
Ingredients
1 lb baby potatoes (red or gold), halved
1 cup baby carrots or regular carrots sliced
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 to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Place the halved baby potatoes, carrots, and green beans into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Step 3: Add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed across all the vegetables.
Step 4: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the vegetables are not crowded to allow for proper roasting and caramelization.
Step 5: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through to promote even browning. The vegetables should be tender, with golden, crispy edges and slight caramelization.
Step 6: For extra color and crispiness, switch the oven to broil mode for 2 to 3 minutes at the end of roasting. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Step 7: Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley or thyme if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
This recipe is highly adaptable based on the vegetables you have on hand. You can substitute or add vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or Brussels sprouts. The key is cutting all the vegetables to a similar size to ensure even roasting. The combination of garlic, Italian herbs, and smoked paprika provides a deep, comforting flavor, while broiling at the end enhances the golden, crispy edges that make roasted veggies so satisfying. Perfect as a side dish or a light main course.
