Easy Roast Vegetables Recipe – simple roasted vegetable recipes with ideas for the best vegetables to roast – low carb vegetarian side dishes.
Easy Roast Vegetables Recipe
Roasted vegetables are great to enjoy through the year. In summer you can roast a tray full of veggies once a week and toss them through salads and in winter you can roast vegetables to enjoy warm as a side dish with a hearty meal.
You can also change up the vegetable variety depending on the season, your taste and dietary requirements.How To Easily Roast Vegetables
Here are ideas for vegetables to include in your easy roast vegetables recipe. The key is to chop vegetables to be roughly the same size so that they cook evenly.
- Zucchini
- Radish
- Peppers/Capsicum – red, orange, yellow or green
- Tomatoes
- Onion
- Garlic
- Mushrooms
- Cauliflower
- Broccoli
- Eggplant
- Asparagus
- Carrots
- Potatoes
- Pumpkin
- Parsnip
You can choose to dress your vegetables with salt, pepper and any other seasoning to taste as well as popping over herbs. My choice is simply salt and ground oregano. A tray of vegetables will usually need around 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to perfectly roast.
Roasted Vegetable Salad Ideas
The roasted vegetables can be enjoyed as a side with a meal or used to create a roasted vegetable salad.
Simply place a bed of greens such as spinach, kale or lettuce in a salad bowl or platter and then top with the roasted vegetables and here are some ideas for other accompaniments, depending on your tastes and dietary requirements:
- Nuts & Seeds – pine nuts, almonds, cashews, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds
- Lentils, Chickpeas or Quinoa – for a high protein vegetarian meal (if you’re not following a low carb diet)
- Cheese – feta, goats cheese, halloumi
- Herbs – basil, oregano, parsley
- Dressing – store bought or add more extra virgin olive oil and then also a choice of lemon juice/zest, apple cider vinegar
- Pesto – homemade or store bought pesto
