Zucchini: Choose firm zucchinis; they cook quickly and add a lovely texture.
Garlic: Freshly minced garlic provides a robust flavor that enhances every bite.

How to Make Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes Carrots and Zucchini
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This hot environment is essential for achieving that irresistible crispiness on your veggies.
Prepare the Vegetables: Rinse baby potatoes, carrots, and zucchini under cold water. Cut them into uniform pieces—about 1-inch chunks for even cooking.
Mince the Garlic: While your veggies are drying off, grab some fresh garlic cloves. Mince them finely; you want those tiny bits to spread their flavor throughout the dish.
Toss with Olive Oil and Herbs: In a large bowl, combine your chopped veggies with olive oil, minced garlic, mixed herbs, salt, and pepper. Toss well until everything is coated evenly.
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Give them space; overcrowding will lead to steaming instead of roasting.
Roast Until Golden Brown: Pop them in your preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes. Stir halfway through to ensure even roasting. You’ll know they’re ready when golden brown edges form and aromatics waft through your kitchen.
Now take a moment to appreciate how these humble ingredients transform into something spectacular!
Serve warm alongside grilled chicken or fish—or just devour them straight from the pan while no one’s watching (I won’t tell).
Enjoy every bite of these garlic herb roasted potatoes, carrots, and zucchini—they deserve applause!
