Oven Roasted Veggies
This is an easy, beautiful and absolutely delicious side dish (heck, even a main dish) that complements protein of your choice, and a nice glass of wine! Give these roasted vegetables a go!
It’s rather well documented that I love all things balsamic (judging by the number of posts I have written including it!)
I mean check out these GORGEOUS roasted root vegetables. I took some red onions, carrots, Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes and regular potatoes. Then, tossed them with a little olive oil, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, salt & pepper.
I often add bell peppers and butternut squash to this mix. Basically, you can use this roasted vegetable recipe for any combination of veggies that you like.
Of course, you can omit the dressing and feta and just roast the vegetables with simple seasonings, it’s up to you!

Why you’ll love this recipe:
- This recipe can be adapted to whatever vegetables you have on hand!
- Roasting vegetables is very hands-off, which means they cook while you do other things. This makes it a great recipe for Thanksgiving and Christmas!
- Super easy. You are literally just chopping vegetables and using an optional dressing to coat them before cooking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Root vegetables are awesome, like potatoes, sweet potatoes, parsnips, carrots and turnips. I like to do pumpkin, butternut squash and zucchini. Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli and bell peppers roast up nicely too!
No. That will steam them instead of roasting them, and we want them to be brown and yummy!
I use a light olive oil for this, but any neutral flavored oil will work.

Scroll for Recipe
The full list of ingredients, quantities and instructions can be found in the printable recipe card below.
Get prepped
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Peel and chop the sweet potatoes, onions, and regular potatoes.
Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts (remove the outer layers if they don’t look great), and cut in half from top to bottom.
Lay the vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer with a little space between if you can (it helps get them nice and brown).
Make the dressing
Combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and salt & pepper in a bowl. Reserve a tablespoon or 2 for later.
Pour the oil and seasoning mix over the vegetables, and using your hands or a wooden spoon, mix it so all of the vegetables are covered evenly. You can also add the vegetables to a large bowl and mix the dressing in that way too.
Bake
Bake for 30 minutes (or until your vegetables are tender, and brown). You may need to increase your cook time by 15 minutes (up to 20 minutes) to ensure proper done-ness.
Cool, then drizzle with the reserved vinaigrette, and sprinkle with feta.
Kylee’s Notes
What to do with leftovers
Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can reheat them in a skillet, microwave or in the oven.
Substitutions/Additions
I often add bell peppers, butternut squash and beets to this mix. Basically, you can use this roasted vegetable recipe for any combination of veggies that you like.
If you are looking for a simpler recipe, just leave out the dressing. This is a great, basic recipe for roasting vegetables that you can adapt to your own tastes.
