Description
Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes, Carrots, and Zucchini is a simple and flavorful side dish that combines tender roasted potatoes, sweet carrots, and fresh zucchini, all seasoned with garlic, herbs, and olive oil. The vegetables are roasted to perfection, with crispy edges and a savory aroma that complements any main dish.

Origin
This dish is inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, where roasted vegetables are often enjoyed as a healthy and tasty side. The combination of garlic and herbs gives it a rich, comforting flavor that’s both rustic and satisfying.

Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
4 medium potatoes, cut into cubes
4 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 medium zucchinis, sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Optional Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon paprika (for extra flavor)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (for extra richness)

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, carrots, and zucchini.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the bowl, and toss again until the vegetables are well-seasoned.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and lightly browned, stirring halfway through.
Optional: Sprinkle with paprika and fresh parsley for added flavor and color before serving.

Tips for Success
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure they cook evenly.
Stir the vegetables halfway through roasting to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.
For extra crispy edges, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) in the last 5 minutes of roasting.
You can also experiment with different herbs like rosemary or basil for a variety of flavors.

Recommendations
Serve with roasted chicken, grilled steak, or your favorite vegetarian dish for a complete meal.
Pair with a light salad or a creamy dip for extra freshness.
