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!
- 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.
How to make Roasted Vegetables
These oven roasted vegetables are so easy to make, but as always we'll walk through how to roast vegetables step-by-step, and don't forget to watch the video!
Make spice mixture
In a small bowl mix together garlic powder, sea salt, paprika and black pepper then set the mixture aside to use later.
Mix it all together
Next, put the vegetables in a large bowl, drizzle them with olive oil and stir until they are evenly coated.
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).
Serve the roasted Vegetables
Once the baked vegetables are perfectly roasted, serve them alongside your favorite main dish, in a salad, etc. Here are some serving suggestions:
- Serve alongside this balsamic slow cooker pot roast, hummus baked chicken or our Oven Roast Turkey Recipe.
- I love adding these roasted veggies to my favorite quinoa salad and to this burrata salad.
- I often make these oven roasted vegetables to serve alongside our favorite Homemade Mac and Cheese for a great vegetarian meal!
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
I always roast vegetables at 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius). This ensures they get nice and crispy instead of soggy.
No. Do not ever cover vegetables while they're roasting or they will not become crispy.
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.
No, for the crispest roasted vegetables oil a baking sheet and bake directly on the pan not on parchment paper.
