You really don’t need a recipe for roasted vegetables, but here are some recommendations for tasty combinations. Spices may vary based on your taste or you can go au naturel with just salt.
Ingredients
Combination Suggestions:
- Carrots, parsnips, turnips, sweet potatoes, and shallots – when done, top with a squeeze of orange and orange zest.
- Broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots – this is great with ground cumin.
- Asparagus. Great topped with lemon zest
- Bell pepper and onions – this is great as an addition to sandwiches or most any entrée.
Topping:
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil, may need more depending on amount of vegetables
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions

- Cut chosen vegetables into 2-inch pieces. Toss in olive oil on baking sheet.

I am allergic to olives. Is avocado oil a good substitute?
Canola oil would be a good alternative to olive oil as it has similar health benefits and is tolerant of high heat cooking. Avocado oil could also work, but is typically more expensive.
I do roast vegees several times a week
