How to Make Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes and Veggies (45-Minutes) – Recipe You'll Love
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, broccoli florets, baby carrots, and red bell pepper pieces.
- Add the minced garlic, olive oil, dried rosemary, thyme, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss everything well until the potatoes and veggies are evenly coated with the herb and garlic mixture.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to roast evenly without overcrowding.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are tender inside and golden brown on the outside, and the vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for a burst of color and freshness.
- Serve immediately while warm as a side dish to your favorite protein or enjoy as a wholesome vegetarian main.
Tips for the Best Results
- Cut potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; this helps the veggies roast instead of steam.

- Stir the vegetables halfway through roasting for even browning.
- Feel free to swap in your favorite veggies like zucchini or Brussels sprouts.
Storage and Reheating

To reheat, warm them in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until heated through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving to keep the texture from becoming soggy.
