What Vegetables are In This Roasted Winter Vegetables Recipe?

This perfect side dish is one of our favorite ways to bake many different vegetables.

Grab some root vegetables, some cruciferous vegetables, and some other favorite veggies for easy oven-roasted veggies!

• Brussel Sprouts: Never boil brussel sprouts! Half them instead and get ready for an actual yummy recipe!
• Parsnips: I recommend peeling and cutting the parsnips into ½ inch cubes. The peels can be a little bitter sometimes.
• Carrots: If you’re using baby carrots, just put them in as is, no cutting required.
• Sweet Potato: Follow the same peeling and cutting for these as you did the parsnips.
• Gemstone Potatoes: Also known as little potatoes or baby potatoes. They are white, red, or sometimes purple.
• Red Onion: Chop the onion also. Red onion is sweeter than yellow onion or white onion but it can be substituted if desired.

In addition to the vegetables, you’ll also want to grab a few seasonings and oils to make the roasted vegetables work.

• Olive Oil: Don’t skimp on the oil or the vegetables will be dry.
• Sage: Rubbed sage is an excellent seasoning for winter vegetables.
• Garlic: Mince whole garlic cloves. Not only are they really good for you, but they have excellent flavor too.

Pro Tips:

• Coconut oil can be subbed for olive oil as it’s another high heat oil.
• Toss on red pepper flakes for a spicy easy side dish.
• If you substitute another type of vegetable, be sure it’ll cook in about the same time frame.

 

 

How to Roast Winter Vegetables?

Pro Tips:

Can You Roast Cranberries with Your Winter Vegetables?

Absolutely! Cranberries are another popular food during the winter.

And while they technically are a fruit and not a vegetable, that doesn’t mean they can’t be roasted!

And when you see them on sale, they’re hard to pass up! Which means I usually end up with a few extra bags!

While you can can them or use them in a host of other recipes, you can also just roast them!

Toss them in with the rest of your different kinds of vegetables and enjoy that way!

 

 

What Temperature to Roast Winter Vegetables?

Easy roasted winter vegetables requires a higher heat. You need hard vegetables like carrots and sweet potatoes to bake through.

So I recommend baking at 375 degrees F. You’ll also need the hot oven preheated before you toss in the different types of vegetables.

That temperature isn’t too high to burn the vegetables but not too low so that they steam more than roast.

 

 

Are Roasted Winter Vegetables Healthy?

Perfect roasted vegetables are seriously good for you. As far as healthy food goes, it’s one of the best things you could eat!

It’s easy to get your daily values of vitamin c, vitamin a, fiber, magnesium, potassium, B vitamins, phosphorus…. Okay I could go on but you get it!

The great thing about roasting a big sheet pan like this too is that it isn’t all just one vegetable.

It’s got many different kinds of fresh vegetables all with their own nutritional profile!

While I commend you for trying to scarf down an entire plate of kale, your body actually needs more vitamins than just kale!

We’re meant to have variety. It is the spice of life as they say! But it’s really good for you too!

So eat up this easy roasted vegetable recipe!

 

 

How to Store Roasted Winter Vegetables?

If you have leftover oven roasted vegetables, storing them for later is easy.

Any leftover roast vegetables should be stored in an airtight container.

First, allow them to come to room temperature, then transfer to a bag or tupperware.

Then keep the oven-roasted vegetables in the fridge until you’re ready to eat them.

This delicious side dish can be stored for up to 5 days in the fridge. Reheat them in the oven or the microwave.
