Make this your go-to recipe any time roasted vegetables are on the menu. The technique will work for any high-moisture vegetable, and the process of cutting your selected vegetables into 1-inch pieces allows them all to cook at the same rate. The optional garlicky yogurt sauce turns a pan of roasted veggies into a light meal, especially when paired with some crusty bread or a bowl of rice or other grains, or you can serve these as a colorful side dish.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare the vegetables: Heat oven to 425 degrees. Add the vegetables to a rimmed sheet pan. Add 2 tablespoons oil, the salt, pepper and thyme (if using), and gently toss vegetables to coat. Use your hands to spread the vegetables out into one layer, spacing them evenly all over the pan.

  2. Step 2

    Transfer to the oven and roast until they are tender and browned, 30 to 40 minutes, stirring at least once during roasting for even cooking.

  3. Step 3

    While vegetables roast, you can make yogurt sauce if you like: In a small bowl, combine yogurt, garlic, oil, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.

  4. Step 4

    Serve roasted vegetables with a dollop of garlic yogurt, if desired, and a drizzle of oil on top.

Tip
  • If you’d like to swap these vegetables for denser vegetables, use any combination of carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, turnips, butternut squash and cauliflower, cut into 1-inch chunks. Add an extra tablespoon of oil and extra ½ teaspoon of salt. Roast for 40 to 50 minutes. These vegetables take longer to cook and absorb more oil while roasting.

I like to shorten the roasting time in the hot oven by par boiling the "hard" vegetables first. After cutting vegetables to size, just add to pan of salted water and bring to boil for a couple of minutes. Drain well and then proceed to roast them as per recipe. No more hard carrots while everything else is done or overcooked.

We make this at least twice a month. Sometimes we add chunks of kielbasa, and always add quarter sized chunks of feta cheese. We make lots so we have a leftover meal quickly reheated in a nonstick skillet. So tasty.

Add some shrimp for the last 5-10 minutes of cooking for a complete meal with protein. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything to serve.

Made the recipe as directed with a few additions of potatoes, onions, and kielbasa. Had no issue using extra virgin olive oil at 425 degrees F. Cut bite size potatoes into fourths as well as onions about the same size. Cooked sliced Johnsonville kielbasa in a fry pan and then added it to the finished vegetables. We loved it and have enough for two nights. Five stars plus.

Please try "Paula Wolfert’s Roasted Vegetables With Garlic and Herbs," also in Cooking NYTimes. Melissa, yours are fabulous but the herbs, potatoes, and celery (of all things) and big ripe tomatoes roasted in a lasagna pan for an hour and 10 minutes. Dill, parsley, garlic and mint (!). Okay, we triple (or triple x 2!) all the herbs except for the mint (double). PLEASE give it a try.

Some feta and/or halloumi is a nice addition.
