Ingredients
- 3 cups broccoli florets, chopped and stems removed
- 3 cups carrots, peeled and chopped into uniform pieces
- 3 cups baby red potatoes, halved or quartered
- 1/4 cup olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Place prepared broccoli, carrots, and potatoes into a large bowl. Pour the oil mixture over the vegetables and toss until well coated.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet without overcrowding.
- Roast for 20–30 minutes, checking after 20 minutes. Vegetables should be fork-tender with crisp, caramelized edges.
- Serve immediately while hot, or store for later use.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the pan—this helps vegetables roast instead of steam.
- Add a teaspoon of maple syrup or honey for a touch of sweetness.
- Try other vegetables like Brussels sprouts, parsnips, or bell peppers.
- For a spicier variation, add crushed red pepper flakes or smoked paprika.
- Use dried herbs in place of fresh—reduce quantity to 1 tablespoon each.
