Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or red), cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 large carrots, peeled and sliced into ½-inch rounds
- 2 medium zucchini, cut into thick half-moons
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 2 teaspoons fresh thyme)
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or 1 tablespoon fresh, finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional garnish: Fresh parsley, grated Parmesan, or a squeeze of lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
- Prep vegetables: Cut potatoes into cubes, carrots into rounds, and zucchini into half-moons. Keep pieces uniform for even cooking.
- Season: Toss vegetables in a large bowl with olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Arrange: Spread veggies in a single layer on the baking sheet. Don’t overcrowd.
- Roast: Bake for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden brown and tender.
- Serve: Garnish with parsley, Parmesan, or lemon juice if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
- For firmer zucchini, add them halfway through roasting.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan — use two sheets if needed.
- Use fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or dill for brighter flavor.
- To make it spicy, add red pepper flakes or smoked paprika.
- Leftovers reheat best in the oven, not the microwave, to keep crispiness.
