Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cups cauliflower florets
- 3 cups chopped carrots (cut into ¼-inch thick coins)
- 3 cups chopped summer squash (like zucchini and yellow squash)
Seasoning
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp seasoning mix*
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prep Veggies: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Chop all vegetables as directed into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. Stir together your choice of seasoning mix in advance.
- Toss Veggies with Seasoning: Place the chopped vegetables in a large bowl or directly on the baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil, seasoning, and salt over them, then toss thoroughly to evenly coat all pieces.
- Arrange and Roast: Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on a baking sheet to promote roasting rather than steaming. Place the sheet in the oven and roast for 45 to 60 minutes.
- Flip Veggies Midway: About halfway through cooking, flip the vegetables once to promote even browning and tenderness. Monitor broccoli carefully as it can brown faster.
- Manage Broccoli Cooking: If the broccoli browns too quickly, remove it from the pan temporarily while the other vegetables finish cooking. Return the broccoli to the pan for the last few minutes just to warm through.
- Serve Warm: Once the carrots are tender and vegetables are roasted to your liking, remove from the oven and serve warm. This medley pairs excellently with lemon tahini sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- This roasted medley is a flexible base; feel free to add or substitute other vegetables like bell peppers, asparagus, or Brussels sprouts.
- Use your preferred seasoning blend—Italian herbs, garlic powder, or smoked paprika work well.
- To speed up cooking, cut vegetables into smaller pieces but watch closely to prevent burning.
- If broccoli tends to overcook, roast it separately or add it later in the cooking process.
- For an alternative cooking method, these vegetables can also be cooked in an air fryer at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, shaking occasionally.
