Discover the art of roasting vegetables in the oven, a cooking technique that truly brings out their natural flavor and appeal. When roasted, vegetables maintain their vibrant colors, turning golden and caramelized, while preserving their rich flavors and essential nutrients. This method not only elevates the taste but also brings out the sweet, earthy notes of each vegetable, creating a delicious and wholesome addition to any meal.
I love having roasted vegetables for dinner and festive tables. To me, this recipe is somewhat magical. You can take any vegetables you have in your fridge, roast them in the oven, and create a perfect side dish. Roasted veggies pair wonderfully with cooked fish or any type of meat, and they also serve as a delightful base for a salad. This dish can be hearty enough to stand on its own as a meal. Just make sure to include a variety of nutritious vegetables, such as potatoes, squash, peas, corn, cauliflower, and broccoli.
I have a great article for those who are looking for a baking/roasting time for different types of vegetables whether you are cooking them separately or like here in a bunch: Vegetables Roasting Times Chart.
Feel free to use the list of ingredients I provided in the recipe as a guideline. You can mix and match based on your personal taste or what you have available. For this mixture, I drew inspiration from the colors of fall and selected vegetables that are characteristic of the season.
What to serve with roasted vegetables:
Ingredients for Roasted Vegetables:
- 500 g butternut squash;
- 300 g bell pepper;
- 100 g red onion;
- 300 g broccoli;
- 1 carrot;
- 60 ml olive oil;
- 10 g mix of dried Italian herbs;
- 6 g salt;
- 25 ml balsamic vinegar;
- Freshly ground black pepper to your taste.
How to roast vegetables in the oven:
- Preheat oven at 425ºF/220°C.
- Peel butternut squash with a potato peeler or a small knife that will be more convenient to use than a big one. Get rid of the seeds, rinse it under the water, and pat it dry with paper towels. Then cut butternut squash into medium-sized cubes. Put cubes into a deep bowl and pour 1/3 of all the amount of olive oil over the squash. Mix them to cover all the squash cubes evenly.
- Peel the carrot and cut into slices.
- Take a sheet pan and spread foil or parchment paper over it. Spread butternut squash cubes and carrot slices in one layer on the sheet pan. Bake these two veggies for 10 minutes before adding other ingredients.
- While we have them in the oven, let’s prepare our other ingredients. Rinse bell pepper; get rid of the seeds and ribs, cut into large pieces. Red onion cut into large pieces, too. Broccoli after rinsing divide into florets. I tried to follow the fall trends and picked all the colors that I associate with this season.
- Combine all the chopped vegetables in a deep bowl; pour the rest of the olive oil and mix.
- In 10 minutes, take the sheet pan with squash and carrot out of the oven and spread out all the other vegetables on top.
- Combine salt with freshly ground black pepper, dried herbs, and freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle this mixture over the vegetables.
- Roast vegetables for an additional 15 to 20 minutes.
- Take vegetables out of the oven and place on a serving plate. Pour balsamic vinegar over and enjoy!

I added this recipe to my favorites right after making it for the first time. I love the combination of vegetables because of their wonderful aroma and delicate taste. Additionally, you only need about 10 minutes to clean and cut the vegetables, and then the oven takes care of the rest. This allows you plenty of free time to prepare a main dish.
