A quick and easy roasted vegetable bowl featuring a mix of sweet potatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, and more, seasoned with garlic, rosemary, and smoked paprika for a crispy, flavorful, and healthy dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste (about 1 teaspoon)
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste (about ½ teaspoon)
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • Optional: crumbled feta or toasted nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash, peel, and chop all vegetables into roughly 1-inch chunks or slices.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Add the chopped vegetables (except cherry tomatoes) to the bowl and toss until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the veggies out in a single layer on a large baking sheet or roasting pan.
  6. Roast the vegetables for 25-30 minutes, tossing or flipping halfway through (around 15 minutes) for even cooking.
  7. Add the cherry tomatoes on top for the last 10 minutes of roasting.
  8. Check for doneness; vegetables should be tender inside with golden, crispy edges. Roast a few more minutes if needed.
  9. Remove from oven and immediately squeeze lemon juice over the veggies and sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro.
  10. If using, add crumbled feta or toasted nuts.
  11. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

Use coconut oil for a dairy-free, tropical twist. Avoid crowding the pan to prevent steaming. Toss veggies halfway through roasting for even browning. Add fresh herbs and lemon juice after roasting to preserve brightness. Reheat leftovers in oven or skillet to maintain crispiness; avoid microwave.
