These roasted vegetables are super easy to make! Mixed vegetables are tossed in an herbed mustard sauce, then roasted until perfectly tender and charred.
These roasted vegetables are made in a sheet pan, and make a perfect side dish for any healthy meal!
I don’t know about you, but I’m big on meal planning.ย Each week I sit down and plan out our dinners for the upcoming week, as well as what recipes I’ll be making and testing for The Chunky Chef… then I make my grocery list from there.ย Sounds super organized right?ย Totally not lol.
For some reason, I have no problem coming up with the main dishes, but I always seem to either totally forget the sides, or stick to the same old steamed green beans.ย Major bummer!
Usually my kiddos will only eat their veggies if they’re covered in cheese, or practically dripping with butter… but that doesn’t do anyone any good.ย So I’ve started roasting more and more vegetables, and they are DELICIOUS that way!
These oven roasted vegetables are loaded with amazing tangy and savory flavors.ย When combined with the natural sweetness from the butternut squash and cauliflower, it’s a flavor powerhouse!!
WHAT ARE THE BEST VEGETABLES FOR ROASTING?
Just about any vegetable!ย Here are my favorites:
- Root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, etc)
- Broccoli, brussels sprouts, zucchini, summer squash, onions, cauliflower, bell peppers, etc.
HOW TO ROAST VEGETABLES IN THE OVEN
- Set your oven temperature fairly high.ย The high temperature allows for the great color and texture, without drying the vegetables out.
- Toss the vegetables with oil and spices, and use your hands to mix well.ย Your hands are the best tool here, so you can sort of massage the flavors into the veggies and make sure they’re completely coated.
- Use parchment or foil for easy cleanup.ย Natural parchment paper is my personal favorite!
- Stir the vegetables around halfway through so they can get crispy on both sides.
This roasted vegetable recipe is low in points… just 2 smart points!ย Those points are coming from the olive oil and potatoes ๐
If you’d like to add a touch of extra sweetness, add a couple teaspoons of honey (although that will add to the point value).ย To reduce the points even further, swap out the potatoes for another zero point vegetable (like onions or broccoli).
The next time you’re looking for a great healthy side dish (like to go alongside prosciutto wrapped honey lemon shrimp or with a bowl of tomato basil soup with pesto), give these roasted vegetables a try!
HELPFUL TOOLS
- Extra large sheet pan – I use this sheet pan all the time (I have 3 of them!), and it holds up SO well and doesn’t warp in the oven!
- Natural parchment paper – unbleached and perfectly nonstick!ย Plus, the pre-cut sheets mean you don’t have to fight with a roll of paper!
SERVE WITH:
- Low Carb Baked Chicken Tenders

Can I substitute or add sweet potato instead of yukon potato
The Chunky Chef says
Yes, although sweet potatoes may need a bit longer to be tender.
Lisa says
I cut up sweet potatoes into 1 inch cubes and left the skin on, it was a great addition! They cooked up tender with everything else. Love this recipe! โค๏ธ
Keith says
Would the roasted vegetables go good with the pork tenderloin as a side dishย
The Chunky Chef says
Absolutely!
Sarah says
I used this recipe on asparagus, peppers, garlic & mushrooms as well as the veggies indicated in the recipe. Can I just say these were the tastiest veggies I ever had? Great recipe! Highly recommend! Thank you!!!
Elaine says
Can the roasted vegetables be made a day ahead & still be delicious reheated the next day without becoming unattractive & mushy?
The Chunky Chef says
I haven’t tested that so I’m not entirely sure.
Lacey says
Yes they can. I roast veggies for my weekly lunch meal prep and they are still delicious on Friday when I cooked them on Sunday.ย
Jenny says
Oh my goodness so delicious! I added red peppers, and they complemented it beautifully! One of my fave side dishes!
Beth says
Very good. The second time I made them I added 1/2 tsp Hidden Valley ranch dry dressing mix. Even better!!
Marcie says
Will the cooking time be the same, if I substitute sweet potatoes for the brussel sprouts?
Thanks
The Chunky Chef says
I doubt it, as sweet potatoes are very dense and generally take longer to roast.
Trupti Patel says
This Dish got stuck in my mind and I will definitely make this sheet pan roasted vegetables this weekend for family.
Great post, Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.
Dawn says
What constitutes a serving? 1 cup?
The Chunky Chef says
Approximately 1 cup, but I don’t measure it very specifically ๐
Monica says
What a treat! Delicious and easy to make.
Erica says
Making this for the second time today! Deliciousย
Susan says
This recipe is outstanding. We even used leftovers warmed up on toast spread with hummus. Then we topped it with slices of tomato and avocado . The mustard flavor came through and is so delicious . This is now my go to roast vegetable recipe!
Danielle says
Is there a way to make this without oil or butter? I cant have oil or butter at the moment.
The Chunky Chef says
That’s tricky, as without fat the veggies will take longer to roast and get golden, and I’ve never actually tested it. The oil also balances the flavors of the vinegar and mustard… so if you omit the oil, I’d also omit those and only use the seasonings. Otherwise the taste will be way off.
Kristina says
You might want to try broth as a substitute.
Patricia @ Grab a Plate says
Mmm! Nothing better (or easier)! The colors are so pretty, and I love the mustard!
