How to Make Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes, Carrots, and Zucchini

Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, sliced carrots, and sliced zucchini.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Pour the garlic herb mixture over the vegetables and toss until everything is well coated.
5. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and golden brown, stirring halfway through.
7. Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Substitutions & Additions

If you want to mix things up, here are some great ideas:

• Try using sweet potatoes instead of baby potatoes for a different flavor.
• Swap zucchini with bell peppers or asparagus for variety.
• Add some red onion for an extra layer of sweetness.
• Sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese just before serving for a cheesy twist.

Tips for Success

Here are some tips I’ve learned over the years:

• Make sure your vegetables are cut into similar sizes for even roasting.
• Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; this helps them roast instead of steam.
• You can prep the veggies and the herb mixture the night before to save time!

How to Store Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes, Carrots, and Zucchini

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in the oven or microwave, but I recommend the oven for that perfect crispiness. Just pop them in at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
