Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, potatoes, bell peppers)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Wash and prepare the mixed vegetables. Cut carrots into 1-inch diagonal pieces, dice potatoes into 1-inch cubes, and slice bell peppers into similar-sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
- Place the cut vegetables in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle olive oil evenly over the vegetables, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.
- Sprinkle Old Bay seasoning and salt over the vegetables. Toss thoroughly using a large spoon or spatula to distribute the seasoning uniformly.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow proper roasting and caramelization.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even browning.
- Remove from oven when vegetables are golden brown, tender, and slightly crispy on the edges. Let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
- Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives if desired. Serve hot as a side dish.
Tips
- To ensure your Old Bay Roasted Veggies turn out perfectly every time, keep these pro tips in mind:• Cut vegetables into uniform sizes to guarantee even cooking and consistent texture • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet - give your veggies breathing room to achieve that perfect golden-brown caramelization • Use fresh, high-quality Old Bay seasoning for maximum flavor impact • For extra crispiness, pat vegetables dry before seasoning to remove excess moisture • Experiment with different vegetable combinations like zucchini, Brussels sprouts, or sweet potatoes • For a smoky twist, try adding a light sprinkle of smoked paprika alongside the Old Bay seasoning • Serve immediately after roasting to enjoy the optimal crispy-tender texture
