Expert Tips for Perfect Garlic Herb Roasted Vegetables

Uniform Cutting: Cut all vegetables to similar size for even cooking - larger pieces take longer and may result in uneven doneness.

Don't Overcrowd: Use large baking sheet or multiple sheets to prevent steaming - vegetables need space for proper caramelization.

High Heat Secret: 425°F is perfect temperature for caramelizing while cooking through - lower heat results in soggy vegetables.

Fresh Herb Timing: Add delicate herbs like basil and parsley after roasting to preserve bright color and fresh flavor.

Oil Quality: Use good quality extra virgin olive oil as it's the primary flavor carrier for herbs and garlic throughout.

Storage Magic: Leftover roasted vegetables keep 3-4 days refrigerated and are delicious cold in salads or grain bowls.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F and line large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and even roasting.

Wash and prepare all vegetables, cutting into uniform 1-inch pieces for even cooking and beautiful presentation throughout.

Place baby potatoes and Brussels sprouts on baking sheet first as they take longer to cook than other vegetables.

In large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, thyme, oregano, and Italian seasoning until well combined.

Add all prepared vegetables to herb oil mixture, tossing thoroughly to coat every piece evenly with aromatic seasoning.

Season generously with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes for perfect flavor balance.

Spread seasoned vegetables in single layer on prepared baking sheet, ensuring pieces don't overlap for proper caramelization.

Roast 20 minutes, then remove from oven and toss vegetables gently with spatula for even browning on all sides.

Add cherry tomatoes to baking sheet and continue roasting 10-15 minutes until vegetables are golden and fork-tender.

Test doneness by piercing potatoes and Brussels sprouts - they should be easily pierced but still hold their shape.

Remove from oven when vegetables are beautifully caramelized with golden brown edges and tender throughout center.

Immediately drizzle with balsamic vinegar while vegetables are hot for enhanced flavor absorption and glossy finish.

Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, basil, and grated Parmesan cheese while still warm for maximum flavor impact.

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or herbs as needed for perfect flavor development.

Transfer to serving platter and garnish with extra fresh herbs, lemon wedges, and flaky sea salt for presentation.

Serve immediately while hot and crispy, or at room temperature as part of Mediterranean-style meal or grain bowl!
