Roasted vegetables make a tasty side dish that is perfect for many occasions.  Whether you choose to roast vegetables in your oven or in a grill pan on your grill you'll love the ease and versatility. You'll especially love them when you are planning a menu for a large gathering.  

Do you need a make-ahead side dish? Roasted vegetables can even be prepared in advance because they are delicious either hot or at room temperature. 

Oven Roasted or Grilled Vegetables

Roasted vegetables make a tasty side dish that is perfect for many occasions.

This roasted vegetables recipe is my go-to combination of vegetables but seasonal additions are tasty, too.  I think you will enjoy how nicely the flavors meld together during the cooking process.  


The Reasons You Will Love these Roasted Vegetables

Zucchini squash and mushrooms are the main vegetables in this combination.  Their flavors are enhanced by the addition of sweet peppers and onion.

Make-ahead preparation frees up time for you whether you are preparing for a large party or a weeknight dinner. It also gives the garlic, salt, and pepper time to work their magic.

You have the option to serve these roasted vegetables hot or at room temperature.  That takes the pressure off when you have a lot of things cooking at one time.

You also have the option to roast these vegetables in the oven or on your grill.  Both result in a yummy side dish.

Leftovers are delicious reheated, added to an omelet, or added to a sandwich,

Tips for Success

Buy fresh, crisp vegetables.  Your ingredients are the stars in this side dish so freshness is key.

Be generous with your olive oil, salt, and pepper to get the best flavor.  I love lots of garlic, but adjust the amount based on your preference.

Don't crowd your pan.  Use a large sheet pan. It doesn't matter whether you are roasting these vegetables in the oven or on your grill, you'll want your vegetables to be spread out.  Give the vegetables space for the best result. Getting a little brown on your vegetables adds to the overall flavor.
