🍆 Which Vegetables to Use  

There are so many mediterranean vegetables to choose from, so you will be able to mix up this recipe so many ways to keep it fresh and fun.

So for this recipe, if you don’t like one vegetable that is listed, swap it out or double up on one that you do.  I really love the flexibility here. 

🥄 Meal Prep Options 

I always try to provide meal prep options with recipes and this one is no different. 

The easiest way to meal prep this one is to cut up all of your veggies ahead of time and store in the fridge until you are ready to cook. Easy Peasy!

I also recommend prepping the sheet pan and measure out the herbs so that this becomes a toss-and-go recipe. Follow those steps, and you’ll have it in the oven in under two minutes! I know it sounds crazy but I have little storage containers to keep my fresh veggies.  This little step just takes so much stress off of my life! 

🌡️ Best Temperature to Roast Vegetables 

Roasting vegetables is not hard but you do need to pay attention to the oven temperature. The sweet spot is between 400-425 degrees. Make sure to fully heat up the oven before placing the vegetables in. 

A few recipes back, I had to reshoot the photos because the vegetables wouldn’t roast. I got an oven thermometer and found out my oven was much cooler than I thought. 

🍴Tips and Tricks

1. Make sure all the vegetables are cut around the same size. If they are all different sizes, they will not cook at the same rate resulting in under/overcooking. 
2. Don’t crowd the vegetables on the sheet pan. If you do, they may steam instead of roast and the result will be mushy. 
3. Use oil sparingly.  This is not the recipe to be generous with the oil.  Too much and it will pool on the sheet pan and not give you a proper cook.
4. Don’t cover the vegetables. Again, you can end up steaming them rather than roasting. 
5. Roasting at too high or too low of a temperature. Too high will result in a burning of the vegetables before they are done and too low will result in a vegetable that doesn’t brown and become crispy. 
6. Toss them on the sheet pan. You will want both sides of the vegetables to brown, so use a spatula to turn them over mid-way through the roasting.

🍓 Ingredients

There are so many wonderful things about this easy Mediterranean vegetable dish. It’s so good for you and great for most diets. Let’s talk about the ingredients a little bit:

Vegetables/Fruits: This dish is loaded with onions, peppers, zucchini, squash, eggplants, tomatoes, and mushrooms. So many nutrients in one dish!

Balsamic Vinegar: To give the veggies their incredible flavors, the balsamic vinegar is there to save the day. It’s tangy and fabulous.

Herbs de Provence: This incredible seasoning takes these Mediterranean vegetables to a new level. Try it, and you’ll see. In addition to the salt and pepper, it’s the best combination ever.

🍽️ Instructions 

This is such an easy recipe that you are going to come back to it time and time again. Take the same concept and mix up your seasonings for different variations. I love meals like this that require very little thought on my part! 

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. 

Wash and cut all of your vegetables into similar sized pieces. Place in a bowl. Combine the olive oil and seasoning and toss with the vegetables with your hands. You just want a light coating.

Lay out a piece of parchment on a sheet pan. Spread out the vegetables in a single layer on the sheet pan making sure not to crowd the vegetables so they don’t steam instead of roast. I ended up making almost two full sheet pans because I cut too many. The key is to not crowd them. 

Roast for 25 minutes. Midway, check them and turn them over. 

Helpful Tip: If you don’t use parchment paper on your sheet pans, grab some.  I only recently started using the precut sheets and it has made a world of difference.  My cleanup takes just seconds. Throw away the used parchment and a light cleaning of anything that made it to the sheet pan.  I used to have to soak the cookie sheet to loosen the roasted vegetables that didn’t come off quickly. Definitely give this a shot!  It is a big time saver in my kitchen!
