Roasted vegetables are one of my favorite things to make all year long. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a gigantic plate of veggies on my plate. Roasted, steamed, grilled, slow cooked – I’ll gladly take them all!
Roasting them is one of my favorite ways since it’s super easy and there’s practically no clean-up if you line your baking sheet with heavy duty foil.
Plus roasted veggies fit into any diet – they’re vegan, paleo, (low carb, keto – depending on which veggies you choose) whole 30 friendly and you can easily toss in any variety of veggies you like.
The hardest part is just chopping them into similar bite-sized chunks so they cook evenly.
This post for Rainbow Roasted Vegetables is more of a fun food presentation idea than a true recipe. I’ve seen a few variations online and they all look beautiful. For my version, I chose some seasonal vegetables and spices, but there are tons of options based on your taste preferences.
You could add fresh or dried herbs and switch up the veggies to what is in season or what your taste buds like.
