Ingredients and Variations

VEGGIES include a mixture of brussel sprouts, butternut squash, parsnips (or carrots), and red onions. If extra potatoes or sweet potatoes or cauliflower are available, toss them in! Other additions include asparagus, mushrooms, green bans, acorns squash.

Frozen veggies can be used, too. Simply add on a few extra minutes.

SEASONINGS What makes this dish so special is the sweet glaze of maple or honey, and assorted savory herbs. Fresh sliced garlic (or garlic powder), sprigs of rosemary, thyme, or orange zest can be added to the seasoning mixture.

Harder vegetables and root vegetables will need about 40 minutes while softer vegetables will need about 20 minutes and can be added to the pan later in cooking.

EXTRAS Cranberries and pecans add an extra festive touch to oven-roasted vegetables. Feel free to sub other favorite nuts, seeds, or dries fruits, if desired.

Try pepitas and cranberries for a red and green Christmas theme, or go for hazelnuts and chopped dried apricots for something different. Have fun getting creative in the kitchen!

How to Roast Veggies

Roasted veggies are so simple. It’s a 1, 2—and done recipe.

Toss the veggies in the seasonings (per recipe below).
Spread in a single layer on a large baking sheet and roast until veggies are tender.

PRO TIP: For more color, finish these roasted veggies under the broiler for 2 minutes before serving. Add a drizzle of maple syrup before broiling if you’d like!

What to Serve with Roasted Veggies

Make the oven do double duty and make one of these mains at the same time! Roast Chicken & Vegetables, Spatchcock Chicken, The Best Meatloaf Recipe, Cube Steak with Balsamic Onion Gravy, or a tender Balsamic Pork Loin.

Don’t forget a bright and tangy Tossed Salad and a basketful of homemade Fluffy Dinner Rolls.

Leftover Roasted Vegetables

Extra maple roasted vegetables can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat them under the broiler and serve them or add them to a Chicken Vegetable Soup, Beef Stew, or dice them up for a filling breakfast casserole like this Denver Egg Casserole.

Freeze leftover roasted veggies in a zippered bag with the date labeled on the outside for up to 3 months.
