How to Make Roasted Fall Vegetables Step by Step

Making this incredible roasted fall vegetables recipe at home is super easy and will give you great results every single time. Here's how to make it step by step:

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven: Start by setting your oven to a temperature of around about 400F. To prevent your vegetables from sticking, line a large rimmed baking sheet with some parchment paper. 

2. Prepare the broccoli: Take your broccoli and begin by trimming away the leaves and stems. Use a sharp knife to divide the head into smaller, bite-sized florets.

3. Prepare the sweet potato: Next, peel your sweet potato. Cut it into rounds and then further cut these rounds into even bite-sized cubes.

Mixing and Seasoning

4. Combine the vegetables: In a large bowl, place your prepared butternut squash, broccoli florets, beetroot, and sweet potatoes. Add in three cloves of garlic for a flavor kick. Sprinkle the veggies with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper for taste.

5. Add the oil: Drizzle the veggies with avocado oil and mix thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are well coated.

Roasting

6. Roast the vegetables: Evenly spread your seasoned vegetables on the prepared baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for about thirty minutes. To guarantee even roasting, make sure you stir the vegetables halfway through.

Making the Sauce

7. Prepare the Tahini sauce: While your veggies are roasting, you can prepare the Tahini sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and garlic pushed through a garlic press.

8. Adjust Sauce for Consistency: Add water, about one tablespoon at a time, and whisk thoroughly. Continue this process until you achieve a smooth sauce with your desired consistency.

Serving

8. Serve the vegetables: Once the vegetables are roasted to your liking, remove them from the oven. Arrange them on a platter and drizzle with the tahini sauce you prepared earlier. Enjoy your delicious roasted fall vegetables!

Tips For Making the Best Autumn Roasted Vegetables 

• Preheat the oven: Always preheat your oven to the correct temperature before you start roasting your vegetables. For this recipe, preheat your oven to a temperature of about 400F. This guarantees an even and thorough cooking process. 
• Prepare your vegetables: For the best results, make sure to cut all your vegetables into similar sizes. This makes sure that they cook evenly. For example, the butternut squash and beets should be cubed, and the broccoli should be divided into small, bite-sized florets.
• Season your vegetables: Don't be shy with your seasonings. The Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper will bring out the natural flavors of your vegetables. And don't forget to drizzle with avocado oil to make sure the seasonings stick to your veggies.
• Stir halfway through: To make sure that the vegetables cook evenly and get a lovely caramelization on all sides, stir them halfway through the roasting process. This is a simple step but one that can make a big difference in the final result.
• Enjoy immediately: Roasted vegetables are best enjoyed immediately. The longer they sit, the less crispy they become. So, serve them up right away and enjoy the fruits (or rather, veggies) of your labor!

Serving Suggestions

• Roasted fall vegetables make a wonderful side dish to a hearty roast chicken, like a chicken riganati. The flavors of the vegetables compliment the poultry perfectly, making for a satisfying and balanced meal.
• For a vegetarian twist, try serving these vegetables over a bed of quinoa or brown rice. The grains add an extra layer of texture, and the tahini sauce ties everything together beautifully.

• If you want to go the comfort food route, serve these roasted veggies with a generous scoop of creamy mashed potatoes. The contrasting textures and flavors make for a delicious pairing.

Recipe Variation Ideas for Roasted Fall Vegetables

This delicious fall roasted vegetables recipe is so flavorful and easy to make you'll want to try out some of these delicious variations! Here are some great ideas:

• Go for a sweet twist: For those with a sweet tooth, try adding a drizzle of maple syrup over your veggies before roasting. The syrup caramelizes during roasting, adding a lovely sweetness that balances the earthy flavors of the vegetables. 
• Make it Mediterranean: Give your roasted veggies a Mediterranean flair by adding some chopped olives, cherry tomatoes, and feta cheese. The salty olives and feta, combined with the sweet and juicy tomatoes, taste amazing with the veggies.
• Try it with herbs: Fresh herbs can bring a whole new dimension to your roasted veggies. Try adding fresh rosemary or thyme to the mix before roasting. The herbs will infuse the vegetables with their aromatic flavors.
• Go nuts with toppings: For an added crunch and a boost of protein, sprinkle some chopped almonds or walnuts over your veggies before serving. The nuts add a nice contrast to the soft, roasted vegetables.
• Boost the heat: If you're a fan of spicy food, add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes to your vegetables before roasting. The heat from the pepper flakes adds a nice kick to the earthy vegetables.
• Add a citrus zing: For a refreshing twist, add a squeeze of fresh orange or grapefruit juice over your roasted veggies. The citrus juice adds a tangy zing that brightens up the flavors of the vegetables.

Frequently Asked Questions 

How to Store Leftover Roasted Fall Vegetables

If you've whipped up a delicious batch of autumn roasted vegetables and found yourself with leftovers, don't let them go to waste! Storing your leftover veggies properly not only saves you time and money but also allows you to enjoy their flavors for a few more days.

In The Fridge: Transfer any leftover roasted vegetables into airtight containers or resealable plastic bags. Make sure the veggies are cooled completely before you seal them up. Properly stored, they will maintain their best quality for about three to five days in the refrigerator.

Reheating:  When you're ready to enjoy your veggies again, you can reheat them in the oven or on the stovetop. If using the oven, preheat it to around the same temperature you originally roasted them at, spread the veggies on a baking sheet, and warm them for about ten minutes. On the stovetop, heat a little bit of oil in a pan, add the vegetables, and stir them around until heated through.

Freezing: While it is possible to freeze roasted vegetables, the texture may change slightly upon thawing and reheating, becoming a bit softer. Since it’s so easy to make, I recommend making it fresh or storing it in the fridge.
