When the cold weather settles in or you simply want something hearty and wholesome, Oven Roasted Vegetables are a go-to dish that delivers on both comfort and nutrition. This vibrant medley of carrots, potatoes, Brussels sprouts, red onions, and herbs caramelizes beautifully in the oven, unlocking a depth of flavor that transforms simple vegetables into something extraordinary.

Whether you’re preparing a holiday spread, a Sunday family dinner, or just meal prepping for the week, these roasted veggies make an easy, colorful, and satisfying addition to any table. They bring both texture and flavor—crispy edges, soft centers, and a rich savory-sweet profile thanks to the roasting process.

What Vegetables Are Best for Roasting?

The beauty of this recipe lies in its flexibility. Root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, and potatoes roast well due to their dense structure. Cruciferous options like Brussels sprouts and broccoli add a nice crispness when caramelized. Onions add natural sweetness, and tossing in a few sprigs of rosemary or thyme brings an herbaceous depth. For best results, use vegetables with similar cooking times, or cut them to even sizes for uniform roasting.

Ingredients for the Oven Roasted Vegetables

• Baby Carrots: Naturally sweet and roast beautifully, holding their shape.
• Brussels Sprouts: Add crunch and earthy flavor; halved for quicker roasting.
• Red Onions: Sweet and caramelize into rich, golden layers.
• Yukon Gold Potatoes: Creamy and buttery texture that crisps up well.
• Olive Oil: Helps with caramelization and adds flavor.
• Balsamic Vinegar: Brings a tangy-sweet glaze.
• Fresh Rosemary & Thyme: Adds aromatic notes and a rustic finish.
• Salt & Pepper: Essential for bringing out natural flavors.

How To Make the Oven Roasted Vegetables

Step 1: Prep the Vegetables

Wash and trim all vegetables. Halve the Brussels sprouts, cube the potatoes into even bite-sized pieces, and slice the onions into thick wedges.

Step 2: Season Everything Well

In a large bowl, toss the veggies with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs. Ensure every piece is well coated.

Step 3: Arrange on a Sheet Pan

Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding—use two pans if needed for crispier results.

Step 4: Roast to Golden Perfection

Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes. Flip halfway through for even browning. Veggies should be fork-tender with caramelized edges.

Step 5: Serve and Garnish

Remove from oven and garnish with extra fresh herbs or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
