Roasted Vegetables with lemon and parmesan are an excellent, easy, and healthy side dish. Simple to make when feeding a crowd, are crazy delicious and will definitely be added to your weekly recipe arsenal.
I've been sitting on this roasted vegetable recipe for years.
The lemon and parmesan on these roasted vegetables are so simple, but it is SO DELICIOUS!
I make this easy, healthy side dish at least once a week. I also always make them for dinner parties, special occasions, along with this Deep Fried Fried Turkey Recipe at Thanksgiving, or served with. big ole bowl of One Pot Teriyaki Noodles. They're a total crowd-pleaser and, it never fails, someone always swoons over them and chases me down for the recipe before night's end.
Roasted Vegetables with Lemon and Parmesan
The method for roasting these vegetables can be your go-to for any veggies your family loves. It's virtually a vegetable crisper clean-out recipe so you can use any vegetable you have on hand or need to get rid of.
I used:
- grape tomatoes
- zucchini
- yellow squash
- mini bell peppers
- red onion
- asparagus
- broccoli
- garlic cloves
How to roast vegetables:
- Preheat oven to 425˚F. Spread all of the veggies on a baking sheet.
- Chop the vegetables uniformly so they cook evenly, give them a nice bath in extra virgin olive oil, and top them off with a sprinkle of sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and a pinch of Italian seasoning.
- Roast them on the pan until they're good and caramelized (15-20 mins), pull them out of the oven, and immediately shower them with nutty Parmesan cheese, a tad of freshly grated lemon zest, and a coat of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Toss them all together and prepare to be dazzled by their citrusy, celestial flavor.
They're absolutely heaven-sent!
