Love This Salt-Free Blend for Roasting Vegetables


  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Salt-Free Spice Blend:

  • 2 tablespoons paprika (for color and subtle sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder (for savory depth)
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder (to enhance the umami)
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme (adds a slightly minty and earthy note)
  • 2 teaspoons dried rosemary (provides a pine-like aroma)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (for a robust, herbal taste)
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper (for mild heat)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin (adds warmth and earthiness)
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley (brightens up the flavors)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for a smoky twist)
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander (for a citrusy undertone)
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil (for a touch of sweetness)

For the Roasted Vegetables:

  • 4 cups assorted vegetables (such as carrots, potatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for coating and roasting)
  • 3 tablespoons salt-free spice blend (prepared as above)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make for easy cleanup.

Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the assorted chopped vegetables. Make sure all vegetables are cut to similar sizes to ensure even cooking.

Step 3: Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and toss them until they are well-coated.

Step 4: Sprinkle the salt-free spice blend evenly over the oiled vegetables. Mix thoroughly to ensure every piece is well-seasoned.

Step 5: Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding, which can cause the vegetables to steam rather than roast.

Step 6: Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes. Toss them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. The vegetables are done when they are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.

Step 7: Remove the tray from the oven, let the vegetables cool slightly, and serve warm.
