I had a bunch of lingering veggies in the fridge from various things I made earlier in the week, so I decided to make my very own roasted veggies. A basic clean-out-the-fridge type meal.

I kept it super simple using fresh garlic, dried thyme, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar – my ultimate weakness. Best of all, I only used veggies that I like. I tend to pick out certain veggies if they are not to my liking – like brussels sprouts. Sorry, not a fan at all.

But if the vegetables listed here are not your favorites, this recipe can easily accommodate tons of other veggies. Just make sure you get that extra balsamic vinegar and garlic – you can never have too much of either!

What temperature is best for roasting vegetables?

The perfect temperature– 400 degrees Fahrenheit is the perfect temperature for most roasted vegetables. It allows for a crispy, perfectly browned exterior and a fork tender interior. But it will vary based on the types of veggies and oil used. If your veggies are not browning enough, try increasing the temperature.

How long should I roast veggies for?

In general, softer vegetables, like green beans and cauliflower, will cook in 10 to 20 minutes, and tough, hard vegetables, like winter squash and potatoes, will take 30 minutes or longer. Large pieces will also take longer to cook than smaller pieces. Roast the vegetables until tender.

What is the best seasoning for vegetables?

It is best to add dry herb based seasoning around the middle of cooking the vegetables. Fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro/coriander leaves, basil are best added at the end of cooking. Raw ground spice seasoning such as curry powder, Chinese five spice, taco seasoning are better added at the beginning.

How do you grill vegetables without getting soggy?

Oil the Vegetables Lightly Vegetables dry out when they hit the heat without a little oil. Before putting the veggies on the grill, toss them with a light coating of oil. Don't use too much-it not only adds unnecessary calories, but dripping oil causes flare-ups and greasy flavors.
