Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 1 cup bell peppers, chopped
Cowboy Butter
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the vegetables.
- Prepare Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, halved Brussels sprouts, sliced carrots, and chopped bell peppers, ensuring an even mix of all veggies.
- Make Cowboy Butter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, chives, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Coat Vegetables: Pour the cowboy butter mixture over the prepared vegetables and toss thoroughly so that every piece is evenly coated with the flavorful butter mixture.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the coated vegetables out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to promote even roasting.
- Roast the Vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the vegetables for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and golden brown on the edges.
- Serve: Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving to enjoy the full depth of flavors and crispy texture.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, spread the vegetables out without overcrowding the baking sheet.
- You can substitute fresh herbs with dried herbs if necessary, but fresh will provide a brighter flavor.
- If preferred, add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- These roasted vegetables can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven for best texture, avoiding the microwave to maintain crispiness.
