Roasted Veggies- An Easy Side Dish

Roasted veggies are simple, delicious and the perfect option on a busy weeknight (check out these 30 minute meals to help keep weeknights stress free!). Simple oven roasted veggies are a staple in our house and the best part about them is that they’re customizable! Use them as a tasty side dish, in a Buddha Bowl or just to munch on.

Roasted Vegetables

It’s accurate to say that I’m no stranger to roasted veggies. I love them. All of them. In fact, in my house, we rock oven roasted vegetables at least twice per week.

Perks Of Roasted Veggies

  • They’re simple (one pan and done)
  • They’re easy to customize
  • You can use them for other dishes
  • Lots of variety

One of the reasons I love oven roasted vegetables is that they are simple to whip up which makes them perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. We always roast up double what we need and the next night we toss the into a stir fry or pasta dish.

This is easily my biggest tip to stay healthy and sane as a mom: double up.

Sheet pan veggies are also easy to customize. Below I’ll give you the recipe for super tasty maple sesame ones but the truth is, we rarely measure. Instead, we eye ball and just pour spice mixes

Flavor Concoctions

We rock a big bowl of chopped veggies (see below) toss them in about 2 tablespoons of avocado oil ad then use some of the following combos:

  • straight sea salt
  • sea salt and garlic powder
  • balsamic vinegar, oil, maple syrup & sea salt
  • sea salt, curry powder and turmeric (check out the benefits of turmeric)

Honestly, you can put just about anything on them and they come out tasty! The reason I love a great roasted veggie recipe though is that they’re so full of color!

The more color you add to your meal the more nutrients you’re taking in and the better it is for your health. So, focus on color, not just one bland sad looking vegetable.

While the recipe below calls for specific veggies, we truthfully rotate between a mixture of these:

  • thinly sliced beets
  • brussels sprouts (always de-steem and quarter at least- this makes them cook fasted and they end up a bit crunchy)
  • carrots
  • parsnips
  • cauliflower
  • broccoli
  • potatoes

Choose a few of your favorites, toss in oil and seasonings and cook until the veggies are no longer hard and ever so little starting to crisp. Them turn the oven off, let them sit for ten minutes (this is crucial seriously) and devour 😉
