Go from plain to delicious veggies by adding this simple roasted vegetable seasoning to any vegetable!

This seasoning for roasted vegetables is made with basic spices you probably have on hand, and quite frankly, it’s like fairy dust for veggies, proteins, and everything in between. When I don’t know what to use to season something, this is my go-to mix!

Seasoning Roasted Vegetables

While roasting or baking vegetables brings out their natural sweetness, seasoning the vegetables with spices is what really adds flavor to your meal.

There are numerous ways to season your vegetables, and the spice combinations are endless; it depends on what flavor profile you want to go with for that meal.

At a bare minimum, after dicing, slicing, or chopping your vegetables, you should drizzle them with some extra virgin olive oil and salt. The roasted vegetable seasoning I’m sharing today is added to that base for flavoring. Just watch how easy it is to make your own seasoning for roasted vegetables.

Best Roasted Vegetable Seasoning Combination

The classic combination of onion, garlic, parsley, and paprika is the best-roasted vegetable seasoning combination -according to my grandmother, that is.

I grew up in Spain, where we add garlic, onions, and parsley to many of our Mediterranean dishes, so paprika is an added spice to create depth to the sweetness of roasted vegetables or any protein.

For this recipe, you can use smoked paprika for a smoky profile, sweet paprika for sweetness, and even spicy paprika. It depends on the flavors you enjoy eating.

Best Oil for Roasting Vegetables

For vegetables, olive oil is my go-to when roasting. It helps veggies cook up with the crispiness we love and adds a unique flavor to the meal that you can’t get with any other oil.

Since you’re probably roasting vegetables below 425F, you don’t need to worry about exceeding the oil’s smoking point -which in fact, it depends on the quality of the oil you purchase. I prefer single-origin olive oil from either Spain, Italy, or California.

Preparing Vegetables for Roasting

Before seasoning, you’ll need to wash, dry, and prep your vegetables so they are ready to take on the spices you’ll be adding. 

Preparing vegetables for roasting is easy. You’ll need to make sure your veggies are washed and dry before preparing.

Some vegetables might need to be peeled, others can be roasted with the skin on, and others is either-or. For example:

  • Oven Roasted Carrots (peeled)
  • Roasted Spaghetti Squash (skin on)
  • Oven Roasted Beets (peeled or skin on)

How to Use Roasted Vegetable Seasoning

Seasoned roasted vegetables are the perfect side dish for any meal. I also love preparing a large sheet pan and having a healthy side for multiple meals. Here is how to do it:

  1. Prep the oven
    You want the oven preheated at 400F.
  2. Prep the veggies
    Wash and dry the veggies of your choice. Then, chop, dice, or slice them to the desired size.
  3. Season
    On a parchment-lined baking sheet, you place the veggies, drizzle olive oil and sprinkle seasoning. With your hands (or kitchen tongs), toss to distribute the olive oil and seasoning evenly on all the vegetables.
  4. Roast
    Roast the vegetables according to the recipe’s specifications. Generally, a ½″ thick vegetable will need about 35 minutes.

Tips for Perfectly Roasted Vegetables 

With minimal effort, you can have an epic meal that will yield lots of nutrition. That said, there are some tips for perfectly roasted vegetables you might want to note:

  • Oven rack placement: make sure the top oven rack is positioned in the middle of the oven. Any higher, and your vegetables might burn. If roasting multiple baking pans, place the second directly below and swap placement halfway through roasting, about 20 minutes in. 
  • Even size: dicing, chopping, or slicing your vegetable pieces into an even size will ensure they are all cooked evenly so one piece won’t be soft and tender while another is still too tough to eat.
  • Follow a recipe: when in doubt, following a recipe is always a great idea, so you know how long to cook your meal. If not, check on your sheet pan once the veggies have begun to change color and texture, approximately after 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Less is more: when it comes to seasoning, you can always add, but you can’t remove. Make sure to not over-season your vegetables -especially with salt- so you can taste your veggies as well not just the seasoning.

Which Roasted Vegetables Are Best for This Seasoning

The best vegetables for roasting are always those that are in season and the ones you like best! There’s no point in roasting veggies that won’t get eaten; and with so many vegetables to choose from, the possibilities for a variety of side dishes are endless!

Some of my favorite vegetables to roast any day of the week are:

  • Roasted Fingerling Potatoes
  • Roasted Radishes and Carrots
  • Fall Vegetable Medley
  • Roasted Asparagus

        Absolutely! I would add a bit under the ratio, 3 tablespoons to the mix.
