Which Kind of Potatoes Work Best?
For this dish, baby potatoes or Yukon Golds are ideal because they hold their shape well during roasting and have a naturally buttery texture. Red potatoes also add a pop of color and roast beautifully. If using russets, peel them first as their skins can dry out in the oven.
Ingredients for the Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes Carrots and Zucchini
- Potatoes: The heart of the dish. Choose small Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best texture and flavor.
- Carrots: Sweet and sturdy, they roast to perfection and add gorgeous color.
- Zucchini: Lightens the dish and adds a soft bite. Added later to avoid overcooking.
- Olive Oil: Helps with even roasting and crisp edges.
- Garlic: Minced fresh garlic infuses the vegetables with warmth and depth.
- Dried Italian Herbs: A blend of oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary complements the vegetables.
- Salt and Pepper: Essential to bring all the flavors together.
- Fresh Parsley or Thyme (optional): A sprinkle on top adds freshness and visual appeal.
How To Make the Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes Carrots and Zucchini
Step 1: Prep the Veggies
Wash and dry all the vegetables. Halve or quarter the potatoes depending on size. Peel and slice the carrots into thick rounds. Slice the zucchini last so it doesn’t soften while sitting.
Step 2: Season and Toss
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes and carrots. Drizzle with olive oil, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Add salt and pepper to taste. Toss until well coated.
Step 3: Roast in Stages
Spread the seasoned potatoes and carrots onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25 minutes. Remove the tray, add the zucchini, toss again, and return to roast for another 15 minutes or until all veggies are golden and fork-tender.
Step 4: Finish and Garnish
Once roasted, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or thyme over the veggies before serving for a burst of color and flavor.

How to Serve and Store These Roasted Veggies
Serve these garlic herb roasted vegetables warm right out of the oven as a side to chicken, steak, tofu, or a hearty grain bowl. They also make a fantastic meal prep option—just refrigerate in an airtight container and reheat in the oven or air fryer to bring back that roasted texture.
Leftovers will keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days. For best results, avoid microwaving as it softens the crisped edges.
