I adore roasted vegetables. I often roast a large pan of my favorite veggies and enjoy them all week long. These roasted vegetables are a healthy side dish that comply with many dietary needs (paleo, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, etc.) so everyone can enjoy them!

Since I make this recipe on repeat, I can promise you that this is the best oven roasted vegetables recipe ever.

Roasted Vegetables Recipe: Ingredients & Substitutions

As always I recommend making this baked vegetables recipe exactly as written, however we’ll discuss the ingredients and possible substituions!

overhead view of the ingredients in this Oven Roasted Vegetables Recipe
  • Vegetables (broccoli & bell peppers). Substitute your favorite veggies. Recommendations include: zucchini, carrots, butternut squash, etc. Just be sure to use a total of 6 cups of vegetables. 
  • Red onion. Any onion variety works well in this roasted vegetables recipe. I love the color of red onions. You can use yellow, sweet, white, or small pearl onions. 
  • Olive Oil. Any neutral oil can be substituted for olive oil – my two recommendations are avocado oil and canola oil.
  • Garlic Powder. You can substitute minced garlic for the garlic powder, however I really love the way the garlic powder coats and crisps the roasted veggies. 
  • Smoked Paprika. Any variety of paprika works great on these baked vegetables. I prefer the smoky flavor of smoked paprika.

Sprinkle half of the spice mixture over the oil-coated vegetables and  stir to combine. Then, repeat with the remaining spice mixture and stir until the spices are evenly distributed.

Roast

Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on a prepared baking sheet, then roast them at 450 degrees for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. 

Broil (Optional): If necessary, broil the vegetables for 1-2 minutes at the end of roasting time to crisp them up (I find this isn’t necessary in my oven, but all ovens are different).

Store

Store any leftover roasted vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days. I don’t recommend freezing them.

FAQs about Roasted Vegetables

What temperature is best for roasting vegetables?

I always roast vegetables at 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius). This ensures they get nice and crispy instead of soggy.

Should I cover vegetables when roasting?

No. Do not ever cover vegetables while they’re roasting or they will not become crispy.

How do you keep roasted vegetables from getting soggy?

Roast them uncovered at a high temperature (450 F as stated above). You can also broil the veggies on high the last 1-2 minutes of cooking to make them extra crispy.

Should you use parchment paper when roasting vegetables?

No, for the crispest roasted vegetables oil a baking sheet and bake directly on the pan not on parchment paper.
