  • Zucchini: Pick firm zucchinis that are free from blemishes; they bring freshness to the mix.
  • Garlic: Fresh minced garlic is essential for that aromatic punch; don’t skip this!
  • Olive Oil: Use high-quality extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling; it enhances flavors significantly.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it together

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). While waiting for the oven to heat up, prepare your veggies by washing them thoroughly. Chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces—this ensures even cooking—and slice the zucchini into half-moons.

In a large mixing bowl, combine all chopped veggies along with minced garlic. Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle dried herbs over everything. Toss well until every piece is coated in deliciousness.

Spread the veggie mixture evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper—this makes cleanup easier! Ensure no pieces are overlapping so they roast evenly.

Season generously with salt and pepper before popping them into the preheated oven. Roast for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown—your kitchen will smell amazing!

Halfway through roasting time, give them a good stir to ensure even cooking—this way every piece gets its fair share of crispy goodness.

Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These garlic herb roasted potatoes, carrots, and zucchini are best enjoyed warm but still taste incredible at room temperature too!
