Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
- 3 large carrots, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional, for a smoky kick)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Wash and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Peel the carrots and slice them into thin rounds. Make sure the slices are uniform for even cooking.
- Cut the zucchinis into half-moon slices about ½-inch thick.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, oregano, thyme, and paprika. Stir until well mixed.
- Place the potatoes, carrots, and zucchini in a large mixing bowl. Pour the olive oil mixture over the vegetables and toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through.
- Once golden and tender, remove from the oven. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Ensure vegetables are cut to similar sizes for even cooking.
- If zucchini browns too quickly, remove it early or push it to the edges of the pan.
