A quick and easy recipe for perfectly crispy roasted vegetables infused with fresh garlic, ideal as a healthy and flavorful side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups mixed vegetables (carrots sliced, bell peppers chunked, zucchini halved lengthwise, broccoli florets, cherry tomatoes halved)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs (optional: rosemary or thyme)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Wash and chop your vegetables into roughly 1 to 1.5 inch pieces for even roasting.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and dried herbs if using. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat evenly.
  4. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Halfway through (about 10 minutes), remove the tray and turn the vegetables using a spatula or tongs for even browning.
  6. Check for doneness after 20 minutes; vegetables should be tender inside with golden, crispy edges. Roast an additional 5 to 10 minutes if a crispier texture is desired, watching carefully to avoid burning the garlic.
  7. Remove from oven and immediately squeeze fresh lemon juice over the vegetables. Toss gently and serve warm.

Notes

Add garlic halfway through roasting or scatter on top to prevent burning. Toss vegetables halfway through cooking for even crispiness. Use avocado oil as a substitute for olive oil if preferred. For low-FODMAP, reduce garlic and use garlic-infused oil. Reheat leftovers in a 375°F oven for 8-10 minutes to restore crispness; avoid microwaving.
