Oven Roasted Vegetables are a simple way to bring out the earthy flavors of carrots, squash, peppers, onions, and more—turning them into a comforting, caramelized feast. Getting everything crispy on the outside while tender on the inside is easier than you might think. Let’s explore how to make them shine in one delicious dish!

Ingredients

- 2 cups chopped carrots
- 2 cups chopped zucchini or yellow squash
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red onion, quartered
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions
To prepare these Golden Harvest Oven Roasted Vegetables, first preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. In a large bowl, toss the chopped carrots, zucchini (or squash), bell pepper, and onion with olive oil and seasonings. Make sure each piece is well coated to guarantee an even roast.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on your prepared sheet. Give them space to breathe so they become crispy rather than steamed. Pop them into the oven and roast for about 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Once they’re fragrant and develop a slight char on the edges, remove them from the oven. If you’d like, shower them with grated Parmesan for an extra savory kick.
This recipe is a fantastic option for anyone wanting a vibrant, nutrient-packed side dish or an easy vegetarian main. The combination of carrots, peppers, and onions offers plenty of vitamins, while the gentle heat of the oven brings out their natural sweetness.
It’s also easy to switch up the vegetables based on what’s in season—try broccoli florets or Brussel sprouts for a twist. Golden Harvest Oven Roasted Vegetables are perfect for busy weeknights, meal prep, or anytime you need a colorful splash of flavor on your plate.
