🛒 Ingredients
- 2 cups baby potatoes (halved)
- 2 cups carrots (peeled, cut into sticks)
- 1½ cups green beans (trimmed)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat oven
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Step 2: Prep vegetables
Wash and cut all vegetables evenly so they roast at the same rate. Pat them dry—this helps achieve a crispy texture.
Step 3: Season
In a large bowl, toss potatoes, carrots, and green beans with olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well coated.
Step 4: Arrange on tray
Spread the vegetables in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding—this ensures proper roasting instead of steaming.
Step 5: Roast
Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the edges.
Step 6: Garnish and serve
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
💡 Pro Tips for Perfect Roasted Veggies
- High heat is key—roasting at 400°F gives that caramelized finish.
- Cut denser vegetables (like potatoes) smaller so they cook evenly.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of parmesan for extra flavor.
- Use a heavy baking tray for better browning.
🥗 Variations
- Keto Option: Replace potatoes with cauliflower or zucchini.
- Protein Boost: Add chickpeas or tofu before roasting.
