These roasted vegetables are super easy to make! Mixed vegetables are tossed in an herbed mustard sauce, then roasted until perfectly tender and charred.
These roasted vegetables are made in a sheet pan, and make a perfect side dish for any healthy meal!
I don’t know about you, but I’m big on meal planning. Each week I sit down and plan out our dinners for the upcoming week, as well as what recipes I’ll be making and testing for The Chunky Chef… then I make my grocery list from there. Sounds super organized right? Totally not lol.
For some reason, I have no problem coming up with the main dishes, but I always seem to either totally forget the sides, or stick to the same old steamed green beans. Major bummer!
Usually my kiddos will only eat their veggies if they’re covered in cheese, or practically dripping with butter… but that doesn’t do anyone any good. So I’ve started roasting more and more vegetables, and they are DELICIOUS that way!
These oven roasted vegetables are loaded with amazing tangy and savory flavors. When combined with the natural sweetness from the butternut squash and cauliflower, it’s a flavor powerhouse!!
WHAT ARE THE BEST VEGETABLES FOR ROASTING?
Just about any vegetable! Here are my favorites:
- Root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, etc)
- Broccoli, brussels sprouts, zucchini, summer squash, onions, cauliflower, bell peppers, etc.
HOW TO ROAST VEGETABLES IN THE OVEN
- Set your oven temperature fairly high. The high temperature allows for the great color and texture, without drying the vegetables out.
- Toss the vegetables with oil and spices, and use your hands to mix well. Your hands are the best tool here, so you can sort of massage the flavors into the veggies and make sure they’re completely coated.
- Use parchment or foil for easy cleanup. Natural parchment paper is my personal favorite!
- Stir the vegetables around halfway through so they can get crispy on both sides.
This roasted vegetable recipe is low in points… just 2 smart points! Those points are coming from the olive oil and potatoes 🙂
If you’d like to add a touch of extra sweetness, add a couple teaspoons of honey (although that will add to the point value). To reduce the points even further, swap out the potatoes for another zero point vegetable (like onions or broccoli).
The next time you’re looking for a great healthy side dish (like to go alongside prosciutto wrapped honey lemon shrimp or with a bowl of tomato basil soup with pesto), give these roasted vegetables a try!
HELPFUL TOOLS
- Extra large sheet pan – I use this sheet pan all the time (I have 3 of them!), and it holds up SO well and doesn’t warp in the oven!
- Natural parchment paper – unbleached and perfectly nonstick! Plus, the pre-cut sheets mean you don’t have to fight with a roll of paper!
SERVE WITH:
- Low Carb Baked Chicken Tenders
- Crunchy Baked Chicken Tenders
- French Onion Smothered Pork Chops
- Stuffed Italian Flank Steak
- Chipotle Glazed Meatloaf

This is such an easy recipe. I’m doing this right now for my Anniversary dinner. Oh,we are having steak too. But I bet that I could just eat the veggies.

This is easy and really delicious! My family was impressed by the look of the veggies, and even more by the taste. Thank you!
Angie Carr says
I cook for a friend once every other week she is a Vegetarian. If I coat these Vegetables and put them in a cookie sheet with cooking instructions will the Vegetables get soggy? Should I just cut Vegetables and have sauce in separate container with instructions?
Amanda says
I would slice the vegetables and have the sauce in a separate container 🙂
T says

My hubby and I make this at least twice a week. Even my PICKY granddaughter (12) requested to have it four times the seven days she visited us, she helped with all the preparation and dressing. Thank you for making it a “family” meal.
Cheryl says
We loved the flavors! The Dijon was a great addition. I made it 2 nights in a row.
Andrea says
Phenomenal recipe! My family doesn’t like mustard, so I had to omit that, and added a bit more oil to help with consistency. My daughter liked the dressing so much she later made it again as a salad dressing.
Wendy says

Ginny says
Ever since discovering Amanda‘s roasted vegetable recipe, we have made it five times in two weeks. Previously we would eat a half cup of vegetables with a meal, and with this recipe, The two of us practically finish a whole cookie sheet of roasted vegetables as though we were eating candy! I use any vegetables I happen to have around, and I modify the spices to suit our taste. I have already had three people asking for the recipe! Thank you Amanda.
