    Why You Need to Make this Recipe

    Italian Roasted Vegetables is a great way to turn anyone in to a veggie lover. It's simple to make and brings out the best flavors.

    Served alone, vegetables can be boring and bland. But this simple method of roasting veggies in the oven on high heat, caramelizes the vegetables and makes them so delicious.

    The combination of vegetables in this recipe work really well together. I use zucchini, squash, mushrooms, bell peppers, and red onions, which all cook around the same time as well.

    The dressing is a very simple combination of olive oil, Italian herbs, kosher salt, pepper. This allows the flavors of the veggies to really shine through. And, of course, there's fresh garlic in there too.

    This is a great recipe to serve for parties, dinner, or just to make and have on hand for the week. It's perfect for meal prep to add to grains or wraps.

    Recipe Ingredients

    Italian Roasted Vegetables are made with zucchini, squash, bell peppers, mushroom, red onions, garlic, olive oil, and seasonings.

    • Squash and Zucchini: this is a great recipe to have on hand when your garden is in full bloom. Off season, you can always pick these up in the grocery store, just opt for organic if possible.
    • Mushrooms: here I use baby bella mushrooms. They are easy to find and relatively inexpensive. However, you can use whatever variety of fresh mushroom you prefer.
    • Bell Peppers: for this recipe stick to the red, onion, or yellow bell peppers. Green bell peppers don't tend to have a lot of the same sweet flavors.
    • Parsley: I like to garnish the dish with chopped Italian parsley before serving. This is optional but adds a nice fresh flavor and color.

    How to Make Italian Roasted Vegetables

    Italian Roasted Vegetables are a simple recipe to make. The most intensive part is just prepping the veggies. After that, it's just bake and serve!

    process shots showing how to make recipe including dicing the veggies and tossing with olive oil.

    Step 1: Start by dicing the veggies; this is going to be the most intensive part of the entire recipe. For the zucchini and squash, half it lengthwise then cut into half moons. Then, slice the mushrooms in half and cut the onion and bell peppers into chunks.

    Step 2: Add all of the vegetables to a very large mixing bowl. Then, pour on the olive oil and add on the seasonings. Use a spoon or clean hands to toss all of the veggies with the oil and seasonings until well coated.

    Step 3: Pour the vegetables on to two lined baking sheets. Use two baking sheets so that you don't crowd the veggies.

    Step 4: Bake in the top half a preheated oven rotating the pans halfway through. Cook until the veggies are softened and caramelized.

    Tips for Making this Recipe

    • This is a great base recipe for making roasted veggies. Feel free to substitute or add in your favorite fresh vegetables.
    • A good quality Italian herb blend or Italian seasoning is all you need to flavor this dish. However, you can make your own with a combo of dried oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme.
    • Use two baking pans here rather than trying to squeeze them all on one pan. Too many veggies on one pan will cause them to steam instead of roast.
    • Store the Italian Roasted Vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Serve warm or at room temperature.
