A simple and satisfying side dish featuring crispy roasted potatoes, carrots, and zucchini with a golden-brown crust, caramelized sweetness, and tender interior.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and place the baking sheet in the oven as it preheats.
  2. Wash and peel the carrots, then cut them into 1-inch chunks. Halve or quarter the baby potatoes depending on their size. Slice the zucchini into half-moons.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the vegetables with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, dried thyme, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Carefully spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the hot baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  5. Roast the vegetables in the oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through for even cooking and browning.
  6. Check for doneness; the vegetables are ready when golden brown and fork-tender. Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness if desired.
  7. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the vegetables during the last 5 minutes of cooking if desired.
  8. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving dish and serve warm.

Notes

Ensure the vegetables are spread in a single layer to avoid steaming. Preheat the baking sheet for extra crispiness. Adjust seasonings to taste and experiment with variations like adding lemon zest or using different vegetables.
