Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 large sweet potato, cubed
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
Seasonings & Garnish
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting your vegetables evenly and thoroughly.
- Prepare and season the vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed sweet potato, sliced red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini slices, red onion wedges, and cherry tomatoes together with olive oil, garlic powder, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until everything is evenly coated.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the seasoned vegetables out in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow proper roasting.
- Roast the vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes. About halfway through cooking, flip the vegetables gently to promote even browning and caramelization.
- Garnish and serve: Once roasted to tender and slightly caramelized perfection, remove the veggies from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm as a delightful side dish.
Notes
- Customize with any seasonal vegetables such as carrots, Brussels sprouts, or asparagus for variety.
- Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving to add brightness and tang.
- For added protein, toss in some cooked chickpeas before roasting.
