- 3 zucchini squash cut lengthwise into fourths, and then slice into bite size pieces
- 3 yellow squash sliced same as zucchini
- 1 red pepper cut into 1" pieces
- 1 red onion cut into wedges
- 8 ounces whole mushrooms
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (more to taste)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray (or you can use parchment paper). Mix all of the cut up vegetables and garlic in a large bowl.
Add olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Toss until all the vegetables are covered.
Add rosemary leaves and salt and toss again.
Roast the vegetables for about 30-40 minutes, stirring once. You will know the vegetables are done when they are brown on the outside edges and tender on the inside.
- Hot oven = caramelized edges, tender centers; 400°F is the sweet spot (450°F max). Watch for browned edges.
- Don’t overcrowd: single layer with space; use two pans if needed.
- Veg timing: cut hard/root veg smaller or start them earlier.
- Broccoli & green beans: roast on a separate pan at a slightly lower temp (or add later) to avoid drying/scorching.
- Dry well, then toss so every piece is lightly coated in oil.
- Season generously: 1 Tbsp rosemary is great—make sure every piece is covered; oregano, thyme, parsley, salt & pepper are also delicious.
- Stir once halfway; pull when edges are golden-brown and centers are tender.
- Serve immediately for best texture; leftovers re-crisp best in a hot oven or air fryer (microwave softens).
- Naturally gluten-free and dairy-free (check seasoning blends).
- Optional finish: lemon juice/zest or a sprinkle of Parmesan.
