Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 2 large zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch coins
  • 2 medium yellow squash, cut into 1/2-inch coins
  • 1 lb asparagus, tough ends snapped off and cut into 2-inch lengths
  • 6 mushroom caps, wiped clean and sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Seasonings

  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp dried parsley

Oil

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure even cooking and a nicely roasted texture.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: Dice the zucchini and yellow squash into 1/2-inch coins for uniform cooking. Cut the asparagus into 2-inch lengths. Mince the garlic cloves finely. Slice the mushrooms to your preferred thickness.
  3. Assemble the Vegetable Mixture: In a medium oven-proof pan, combine the zucchini, yellow squash, asparagus, garlic, and mushrooms, spreading them evenly for consistent cooking.
  4. Season and Dress: Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with the fresh rosemary and dried parsley. Toss everything together to coat the vegetables well with oil and seasonings.
  5. Roast the Vegetables: Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast for 30-40 minutes. Stir the vegetables about halfway through to ensure even roasting. Remove from the oven when the vegetables are tender and have developed a golden, roasted appearance.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the roasted vegetables to cool slightly before serving. Perfect as a flavorful side dish or addition to your favorite recipes.

Notes

  • You can adjust the herbs according to your preference or what’s available fresh.
  • For a bit of heat, add crushed red pepper flakes before roasting.
  • Use a large enough pan to allow vegetables to roast instead of steam for best texture.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
