Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 large sweet potato, cubed
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
Seasonings & Garnish
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the vegetables evenly.
- Prepare the vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potato, sliced red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini slices, red onion wedges, and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until all pieces are well coated.
- Arrange for roasting: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to promote even roasting and prevent sticking.
- Roast the vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the veggies for 25 to 30 minutes, turning or flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
- Garnish and serve: Once roasted to tender and golden perfection, transfer the vegetables to a wooden platter, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm for a colorful, healthy side dish.
Notes
- Customize the platter by swapping in any seasonal vegetables like carrots, broccoli, or asparagus.
- For added brightness, drizzle with balsamic glaze or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
