This roasted vegetables recipe uses the best of Autumn vegetables; creamy sweet butternut squash, tender yukon potatoes, juicy zucchini, the sweetest carrots and crisp bell peppers. Mixing the veggies works because the tougher veggies are roasted 10 minutes longer than everything else. You can also change up the veggies.

The flavor combination is lovely and the sprinkle of cheese at the end, even lovelier! Roasted vegetables would make a stunning and vibrant Thanksgiving side dish.

My Mama-in-law shared this recipe with us last week and we’ve made it several times already. It’s pretty simple to make but takes a some time to chop everything up.

Make Ahead Tip: You can chop all of your veggies a day in advance and refrigerate in ziploc bags overnight. Just be sure to keep your potatoes refrigerated in a bowl of cold water so they don’t change color.

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers: It reheats really well on a pan for lunch the next day and you can puree it to make baby food.

What you will need:

(2) 9×13 metal baking pans or (1) large roasting pan.

How to Select, Store and Prep Butternut Squash:

Pick one that is heavy for it’s size.
Look for ones with the stem attached – as a firm dry stem indicates a ripe squash.
Pick ones that are rich and deep in color. The lighter ones seem to be not as sweet.
Skin should be firm, without bruises or punctures
How to Store: They last for awhile. You can store them in a cool dry place for weeks.
How to Peel: use a potato peeler or a small knife to get through the tough skin – it’s like peeling a potato but with a tougher skin. Cut in half then use a spoon to scoop out and discard seeds.

1. Start with the vegetables that take longer to bake: place potatoes, butternut squash, carrots and 1/2 of chopped garlic into a large mixing bowl (here’s the bowl I’m using). Drizzle with 2 Tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper and 1 Tbsp garlic salt, or to taste. Stir to coat the veggies evenly. Divide this mixture into your two prepared baking pans and roast uncovered at 450˚F for 10 minutes.

2. In the same mixing bowl, combine remaining veggies: zucchini, bell pepper, remaining chopped garlic, 1 Tbsp olive oil, black pepper and 1/2 Tbsp garlic salt, or to taste and stir well to combine. Remove roasting pans from the oven and quickly place the mixed vegetables evenly over the top. Return to the oven and roast an additional 20-25 minutes or until potatoes and squash are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
