Ingredients

  • 1 Summer squash, cut into 1 1/2" pieces
  • 1 Bell pepper, cut into 1” pieces
  • 1 Red bell pepper, cut into 1” pieces
  • 1 medium onion, cut into 1” pieces
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut into 1” pieces
  • 2 medium potatoes, cut into 1” pieces
  • 4 Tbsp olive oil
  • To taste: Salt, black pepper, and your favorite herb blend
  • Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Prep the Veggies: In a large bowl, combine the squash, bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and potatoes.
  2. Toss: Add the olive oil and toss thoroughly until all the vegetables are well coated.
  3. Arrange: Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  4. Season: Generously sprinkle your favorite herb blend, salt, and pepper over the top.
  5. Bake: Bake uncovered at 400°F for 45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
  6. Finish: If you'd like, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese right before serving for a little extra flavor.

Notes

Tammy’s Tips: The key to a great roast is making sure you don't crowd the pan; if the vegetables are too close together, they'll steam instead of getting those nice caramelized edges. Try to cut your potato pieces a little smaller than the squash so everything finishes cooking at the exact same time. For a real Southern twist, you can even use a little melted bacon grease in place of half the olive oil!
