Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and optimal roasting.
Select 3-4 vegetables from the base list, ensuring you have approximately 6-8 cups of chopped veggies. Cut them into uniform sizes for even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with olive oil, minced garlic, fresh herbs, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Toss well to fully coat each piece.
Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Be careful not to overcrowd the veggies to ensure crispy, caramelized edges.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through roasting to ensure even browning.
Once roasted, transfer the vegetables to a serving dish. Add any finishing touches, such as Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, or red pepper flakes, and serve immediately.

Air-fryer version: For an even faster option, air fry the veggies at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, shaking halfway through.
