Ingredients
  

Vegetables
  • 1.5 lb baby potatoes quartered
  • 3 carrots sliced into 1/2-inch coins
  • 2 zucchini cut into 1-inch chunks
Seasoning and toppings
  • 0.25 cup olive oil divided
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Preheat and season
  1. Preheat oven to 425F, and place a sheet pan in the oven to heat up as it warms.
  2. Toss potatoes and carrots with 3 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper on the hot sheet pan.
First roast
  1. Roast for 20 minutes, until the potatoes begin to turn golden at the edges (look for browning on the cubes and coins).
Add zucchini and finish roasting
  1. Toss zucchini with the remaining oil, then add to the pan and stir to spread everything into an even layer.
  2. Roast 15 minutes more at 425F until potatoes are crispy and zucchini is tender (browned spots on zucchini are your cue).
Finish and serve
  1. Sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley, then stir lightly so the cheese melts and the herbs cling to the hot vegetables.
  2. Serve immediately while the potatoes stay crisp.

Notes

For maximum crisping, spread the vegetables in a single layer and avoid overcrowding the sheet pan. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container up to 4 days; reheat on a sheet pan in a 425F oven to re-crisp. Freezing isn’t recommended because zucchini and potatoes lose texture. For a dairy-light option, use a hard dairy-free Parmesan-style topping or omit Parmesan for a lower-sodium swap (flavor will be slightly less nutty).
