Ingredients
Scale
- 250 g waxy potatoes, peeled and diced into 2 cm cubes
- 2 medium carrots (approx. 200 g), sliced at an angle into 1 cm rounds
- 1 small head of broccoli (approx. 50 g), florets separated from the stem
- 1 red onion (approx. 90 g), cut into wedges
- 1 red bell pepper, roughly chopped
- 1 small zucchini, halved and sliced into 1 cm half moons
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1½ tsp dried Italian herbs (rosemary, thyme, oregano)
- ½ tsp garlic granules
- ½ tsp sweet paprika
- ½ tsp coarse sea salt + more to taste
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- Optional: Juice and zest of ½ untreated organic lemon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Steam the carrots and potatoes in a steaming basket for 4 minutes or blanch in salted water to pre-cook.
- In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, cornstarch, 1 tbsp water, and all dried spices until a milky-yellow emulsion forms.
- Add the pre-cooked potatoes and carrots to the bowl, tossing until evenly coated, then spread them on the baking sheet.
- Roast for 10 minutes in the oven.
- Prepare the broccoli, bell pepper, zucchini, and onion in the meantime. Add them to the same bowl and mix with the remaining oil mixture.
- After the first 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet and toss the hardened vegetables. Place the onions and broccoli in the center, then scatter the bell pepper and zucchini around.
- Reduce oven temperature to 200°C (392°F) and roast for another 12-15 minutes until edges are dark brown.
- In the last 2 minutes, slightly open the oven door to let moisture escape.
- Remove from the oven, immediately sprinkle lemon zest over the hot vegetables, add a squeeze of lemon juice, and finish with fresh thyme or parsley.
- Serve on warmed plates, topping with additional coarse salt and pepper if desired.
