Roasted Italian Veggie Medley is yummy broccoli, carrots, and red peppers covered with Italian spices, baked, and topped with Parmesan cheese.
Roasted vegetables are so delicious! There’s something magical that happens when fresh veggies are roasted, rather than being boiled in water. There is more depth to their flavor, and the vegetables slightly caramelize on the outside, which makes it my favorite way to fix them.
This roasted Italian veggie medley is very simple to prepare. It uses three fresh veggies: broccoli, carrots, and sweet, red bell peppers.
The veggies are then drizzled with olive oil and then seasoned with an Italian-inspired spice mix before baking. These finished veggies are topped with finely grated Parmesan cheese before serving, which adds another layer of FLAVOR. Here’s how to make this simple side dish:

Make The Seasoning Mix
Making the seasoning mix is ridiculously EASY! Measure Italian seasoning, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and a pinch of red pepper flakes into a tiny dish.
Stir well, to combine all the spices, then set aside until they are needed later.
Prepare The Veggies For Baking
Peel, slice off the ends, then cut six medium-sized carrots in half lengthwise. Once sliced in half lengthwise, cut the carrots into 1½-2 inch slices.
Cut the broccoli into florets, then cut the red bell pepper into bite sized chunks, after removing the seeds. Arrange the veggies in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
Drizzle the veggies with olive oil, and toss, to lightly coat all sides. Sprinkle the reserved spice mixture over the top of the vegetables, evenly distributing all the seasoning.
Bake The Seasoned Veggies
Roast the veggies, uncovered, in a preheated 400°F oven for 10 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and quickly turn the veggies over, to roast the other side. Make sure to keep the veggies in a single layer.
Place the veggies back into the oven and continue roasting them for 10 more minutes, and then they should be done (and tender).
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and quickly transfer the hot roasted Italian veggie medley to a serving plate or bowl.
Immediately grate Parmesan cheese over the top of the veggies before serving. The heat from the vegetables will help melt the Parmesan cheese.
Serve the Roasted Italian Veggie Medley
Serve the roasted Italian veggie medley as soon as you have the cheese grated on top. I love to finely grate the cheese from a wedge of fresh Parmesan I usually keep in our refrigerator.
Adding Parmesan cheese adds a nice additional layer of Italian flavor to this simple dish. YUM!
TIP: If using bagged, pre-grated Parmesan, you might need to pop the dish in the microwave to help melt the cheese.
And there you have it… a lovely vegetable medley side dish, without a whole lot of work! I hope you will find the time to give this delicious dish a try, and I’m pretty confident you will enjoy it, too.
This is a wonderful and versatile side dish, which beautifully compliments a wide variety of chicken, fish, pork OR beef dishes. The recipe will yield four side servings, but can be EASILY doubled to serve more!
Have a wonderful day, and thank you for stopping by. I sincerely hope you will come back again soon for more family-friendly recipes.
