Ingredients
- Mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, red onions)
- 4 cups, chopped
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons
- Fresh oregano
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
- Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons
- Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
- Black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon, freshly ground
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped mixed vegetables.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, finely chopped fresh oregano, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Pour the oregano-lemon mixture over the vegetables and toss until they are evenly coated.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have space in between to roast and not steam.
- Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and the edges are slightly caramelized. For even roasting, stir the vegetables once halfway through the cooking time.
- Remove the vegetables from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the residual heat to complete the cooking process, resulting in perfectly tender vegetables.
- Serve these Lemon and Oregano Infused Roasted Vegetables hot, as a side dish to your favorite protein, or as a delicious and healthy meal on their own.
