Roasted Vegetables uses the best of Fall vegetables: butternut squash, potatoes, zucchini, carrots and bell peppers. Perfect holiday side dish! | natashaskitchen.com

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.

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.

2 red, yellow or orange bell peppers, cut into 1″ pieces

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.

How to make Roasted Vegetables:

Prep: Preheat Oven to 450˚F with the oven rack in the center of the oven. Line baking pans with foil and generously grease with about 1 Tbsp olive oil in each pan. Chop veggies (keep potatoes in water if not using right away).

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.

    This was perfect! It’s amazing how a simple recipe can be this good! I completely understand wanting to eat all of it – had to remind myself that just because it’s good for you doesn’t mean you can eat all of it, but I still had a second serving.
    Thank you for another wonderful recipe, I’ll be making this one again.

    This recipe looks incredible! Could you make it a day before and reheat it? If so, how long would you reheat it for in the oven?

    Hi, Natasha!!! Thank you so much for your amazing recipes and for this one especially!!! I’ve been making it for a month in a row and can’t get enough!!! I have a question for you. If I make big batch (we have a big family) can I roast both pans together one over the other or should I wait and do one after another? Thank you for your awesome work!!!! Blessings to you and your family!

      Hi Nataliya, I think that would still work to do a double batch, just try to center the racks as best you can in the oven (top third and lower third) and rotate once or twice while baking. You will likely need more baking time due to more veggies being in the oven and opening the oven a couple times to rotate. I’m so glad you enjoy the recipe and blessings to you also!
