Creating Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes, Carrots, and Zucchini is straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare Vegetables: Wash and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces, slice the carrots, and cut the zucchini into half-moons.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, sliced carrots, and zucchini. Add the minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
4. Spread on Baking Sheet: Pour the vegetable mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer for even roasting.
5. Roast in the Oven: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and golden brown, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
6. Check for Doneness: Use a fork to check that the potatoes and carrots are tender. If they’re not ready, return to the oven and check every 5 minutes.
7. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
These steps will help you create a flavorful side dish that perfectly complements any main course.
