Steps to Make Oven-Roasted Vegetables with Garlic and Herbs
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large-rimmed baking sheet with non-stick aluminum foil, set the pan aside until ready to use. Wash and scrub clean the red potatoes. Then dry and cut them into quarters. Place the cut potatoes, along with the baby carrots, into a large bowl.
- Next, add the freshly minced rosemary and thyme, along with a few pinches of Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, and 3 tablespoons of the olive oil.
- Use a large silicone spatula to stir the potatoes and carrots until they are well coated in the oil and herbs.
- Then, pour the potatoes and carrots onto the prepared sheet pan and spread them into an even layer. Bake in a 400°F oven for 30 minutes.
- While the potatoes and carrots are in the oven, wash the green beans, trim the ends, break them into 2-3 inch pieces, and dry them well. Place them in the same bowl the potatoes and carrots were mixed (do not wash the bowl), and then add the rest of the olive oil.
- Next, add the freshly minced garlic, a few pinches of kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Stir the green beans to evenly coat them in the oil and garlic.
- After half an hour, remove the pan from the oven and pour the green beans onto the potatoes and carrots.
- Then stir the green beans together with the potatoes and carrots, making sure some of the garlic is transferred to the potatoes and carrots, and some of the herbs are transferred to the green beans. Return the pan to the oven and roast for 20 minutes.

- Transfer the Oven-Roasted Vegetables with Garlic and Herbs to a dish and serve warm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Potatoes and carrots generally require more time to become tender than green beans. Adding the green beans during the second stage helps the vegetables finish cooking together without overcooking the beans.
Yes. You can substitute dried rosemary and thyme if fresh herbs are unavailable. Because dried herbs have a more concentrated flavor, start with a smaller amount and adjust to taste.
Absolutely! Broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, and other vegetables can work well. Keep in mind that different vegetables have different cooking times, so you may need to adjust when you add them to the baking sheet.
Yes. You can wash and prepare the vegetables ahead of time and refrigerate them until you're ready to cook. For the best roasted texture, I recommend roasting them close to serving time.
Recipe Tips and Tricks
- Cut the Vegetables into Similar Sizes: Cut the red potatoes into evenly sized quarters so they cook at a consistent rate. If your baby carrots vary significantly in thickness, consider cutting the larger ones lengthwise.
- Dry the Vegetables Thoroughly: After washing the potatoes, carrots, and green beans, pat them dry before adding the oil and seasonings. Removing excess moisture helps the vegetables roast rather than steam.
- Use a Large Baking Sheet: Arrange the vegetables in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet. If the vegetables are crowded, use two pans to give them more room to roast.
- Store Leftovers Properly: Transfer leftover vegetables to an airtight container and refrigerate promptly. Reheat them in the oven when possible to help restore some of their original texture.
