Sheet Pan Lemon Herb Veggie Bake

Say hello to your new favorite healthy side dish — or even a light main! This Sheet Pan Lemon Herb Veggie Bake is a celebration of fresh produce, all roasted to perfection on a single pan. Minimal effort, maximum flavor!

Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 1.5 lbs mixed vegetables, cut into similar-sized pieces (e.g., broccoli florets, bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, red onion)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning (or a mix of dried oregano, basil, thyme)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or dill, for garnish (optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped mixed vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly.

  3. Step 3

    Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss again to ensure all vegetables are well seasoned.

  4. Step 4

    Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting (use two baking sheets if necessary).

  5. Step 5

    Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.

  6. Step 6

    Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley or dill if using, and serve immediately.

Tips

  • Harder vegetables like carrots and potatoes need to be cut smaller or cooked longer than softer ones like zucchini.
  • Feel free to customize with your favorite veggies – sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and cherry tomatoes work wonderfully.
  • A sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese in the last 5 minutes of roasting adds a delicious savory crust.
