Jump to RecipeIngredients Needed:
Vegetables:
- 2 medium Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 medium red bell peppers, seeds, and membranes removed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 medium red onion, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- ½ medium butternut squash, peeled, seeds removed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Dressing:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary (see note for dried herbs)
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme (see note for dried herbs)
- 2 teaspoons coarse, kosher salt
- Pinch of black pepper
How To Make Roasted Winter Vegetables Recipe?
- Preheat the oven: set it to 230°C and let it fully heat up.
- Spread out the veggies: place all the chopped vegetables on a large sheet pan in a single layer. Don’t stack them too much—use two pans if needed.
- Mix the dressing: in a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Toss the veggies: pour the dressing over the vegetables and gently toss everything right on the pan until coated well.
- Bake until tender: roast in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Don’t stir. Just let them roast until the edges turn golden and everything is soft.
- Taste and serve: add a little extra salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm, straight from the pan.

Recipe Tips:
- Cut all vegetables the same size: this helps them cook evenly, so nothing burns or stays raw. Try to keep everything about 1-inch or 1/2-inch pieces.
- Don’t skip the fresh herbs if possible: rosemary and thyme give deep flavor. Fresh herbs make a big difference in taste compared to dried ones.
- Use a large sheet pan or two pans: if veggies are too close together, they’ll steam instead of roast. Give them space so the edges get golden and crispy.
- Don’t stir while roasting: let the vegetables roast without touching them. This helps the bottoms brown nicely and get that roasted flavor.
- Check doneness with a fork: the veggies are ready when a fork goes in easily and the edges look browned. Taste one before taking them out.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let the roasted vegetables cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, put them in an airtight container and store them in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for up to 4 days.
- Freeze: After the vegetables cool, spread them on a tray and freeze for 1 hour. Once frozen, move them to a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat: place the vegetables in the air fryer basket and heat at 175°C for 3–5 minutes until hot and crisp on the edges.
