How To Make Sheet Pan Roasted Veggies
Roasting vegetables is an easy way to add a nutritious side dish to all of your main dishes. Preheat your oven to 400F. While the oven is preheating, clean and cut all of the vegetables into similar-sized pieces. Place the vegetable mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, so they are evenly coated, and season with salt, black pepper, and sliced garlic. Cook the vegetables in a preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, careful to toss them halfway through. After that, cook until they reach your desired tenderness, and remove the sheet pan from the oven. Allow this delicious dish to cool before serving.
Note: Cooking time may vary depending on the type of vegetables you use.

Roasted Sheet Pan Veggie FAQs
Can I add other spices and seasonings to my sheet pan roasted vegetables?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and spices. Garlic powder, oregano, rosemary, cumin, curry powder, garlic salt, and paprika are all delicious additions that you can mix with roasted vegetables.
Do I need to use any cooking spray before roasting the vegetables?
No, you don’t need to grease the pan. The oil from the vegetables should be enough to keep them from sticking as they roast. However, for easier cleanup, line baking sheet with parchment paper before adding the mixed vegetables.
Can I use frozen vegetables instead of fresh ones?
Yes, you can use frozen vegetables. Just be sure to thaw them beforehand, so they’re completely defrosted.
Is it best to roast vegetables in one layer or multiple layers?
For even cooking, it’s best to spread the vegetables out in a single layer on your baking sheet, so each piece is exposed to direct heat. Otherwise, some will cook faster than others.
