Description

This easy and colorful oven roasted vegetables recipe is packed with flavor, texture, and nutrition. A delicious mix of bell peppers, zucchini, sweet potatoes, red onion, and broccoli, seasoned with Italian herbs and optional Parmesan, then roasted until golden and crisp at the edges.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces (red, yellow, or orange)

  • 2 medium zucchini, ends trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

  • 1 small sweet potato, scrubbed and cut into 3/4-inch pieces

  • 1 small red onion, cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 1 small head broccoli (or 8 oz Brussels sprouts), cut into florets

  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (or sub 1 tbsp more olive oil)

  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 1 tsp kosher salt

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

  • 3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. If using two baking sheets, position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven.

  2. Prepare baking sheets with non-stick spray or parchment paper.

  3. Combine vegetables in a large bowl. Add olive oil and Dijon mustard. Toss to coat.

  4. Add seasoning: Sprinkle in Italian herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss again.

  5. Distribute evenly on two baking sheets in a single layer, giving vegetables space.

  6. Roast for 25–35 minutes, tossing halfway and rotating pans. Look for crisp edges and fork-tender texture.

  7. Add Parmesan during last 5 minutes of roasting or after removing from oven.

  8. Serve hot or at room temperature with extra seasoning to taste.

Notes

💡 Notes

  • Dijon adds flavor depth but can be replaced with more olive oil if preferred.

  • For extra crispiness, use convection mode at 375°F.

  • Mix and match veggies based on seasonality — carrots, parsnips, squash, or asparagus work great.

  • Make-ahead: Roast early and reheat before serving.

📦 Storage & Reheating

  • Refrigerate: Store in airtight container for up to 5 days.

  • Freeze: Up to 3 months in freezer-safe bags or containers.

  • Reheat: Use oven or air fryer for best texture.
