Expert Tips
- Source fresh vegetables for this recipe! This makes a huge difference. Avoid using broccoli that is yellowing or limp, cauliflower that is browning or carrots that are not fresh.
- Mince the garlic. This helps the garlic mix through out the veggies.
- Don't skip the garlic powder! This adds a nice seasoning to the veggies that fresh garlic can't achieve as well.
- Don't skimp on the olive oil. You'll need enough to coat each vegetable so it doesn't burn in the oven.
Storage
- Leftovers will last up to 4 days stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To reheat: microwave for 2-3 minutes until hot or reheat in a pan on medium heat.
- Freezer friendly? I don't recommend freezing these roasted vegetables as the freezer will make them mushy.

- starters like soup, garlic bread, fried calamari, bruschetta, crostini, or deviled eggs
- roasted potatoes
- white rice, brown rice, cauliflower rice, rice pilaf or any seasoned rice
