A simple, hearty, and flavorful one-pan roasted vegetable side dish perfect for summer BBQs, featuring baby potatoes, fresh corn, and bell peppers with smoky spices.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered (small red or Yukon gold)
  • 3 ears fresh corn on the cob, cut into thirds
  • 2 bell peppers (red and yellow), sliced
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled feta or cotija cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and halve the baby potatoes, cut the corn into thirds, slice the bell peppers into strips, and wedge the red onion. Keep potato pieces roughly the same size for even cooking.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the veggies with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the veggies out on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer without crowding, giving potatoes a bit of space.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until potatoes are tender and edges are golden brown.
  6. Optional: In the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle crumbled feta or cotija cheese over the veggies.
  7. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not crowd the pan to avoid steaming the veggies. Toss veggies halfway through roasting for even browning. Avoid over-salting early to prevent tough potatoes. Prepping veggies the night before can save time. For vegan option, omit cheese or use vegan cheese alternative. Can be grilled on skewers as an alternative cooking method.
