You can make flavorful roasted vegetables with minimal effort using this sheet pan recipe. It focuses on achieving tender centers and crispy edges on potatoes, carrots, and zucchini with a simple garlic and herb seasoning blend, perfect for weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound small potatoes, quartered
  • 1 cup carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium zucchini, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes and carrots. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
  3. Spread the potatoes and carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes. This initial roast helps the denser vegetables start cooking.
  4. While the potatoes and carrots roast, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper in the same bowl.
  5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the chopped zucchini to the pan. Drizzle the garlic herb mixture over all the vegetables and toss everything gently right on the pan until well coated.
  6. Spread the vegetables back into a single layer, ensuring they have space between them for proper roasting and crisping.
  7. Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and the edges of the vegetables are lightly browned and crispy.
  8. Serve immediately as a healthy roasted side dish.

Notes

  • For the best crispy roasted potatoes and carrots, make sure your vegetables are cut into uniform sizes.
  • Do not overcrowd the sheet pan; use two pans if necessary. Crowding steams the vegetables instead of roasting them.
  • To achieve perfect texture, check the vegetables at the 15-minute mark after adding the zucchini; adjust roasting time based on your oven.
