Gather The Produce For Your Autumn Roasted Vegetables

An easy, flavorful Autumn Roasted Vegetables recipe loaded with fall veggies like Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, carrots, potatoes and pecans. The perfect healthy side dish for Thanksgiving or any fall meal.

The wonderful thing about this recipe is that it takes advantage of the bounty of fall produce available right now. When you purchase produce that is in season, it not only tastes the best, it’s budget-friendly as well. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Hearty Potatoes
    I use baby potatoes since they are the perfect size to roast whole. The potatoes get crispy, golden brown and tender inside after roasting. Russets or red potatoes chopped into chunks would also work well.
  • Earthy Brussels Sprouts
    These mini cabbages add great texture and flavor. Brussels sprouts caramelize beautifully in the oven. If you aren’t a fan, kale or cauliflower florets also pair nicely.
  • Sweet Butternut Squash
    This winter squash lends natural sweetness and brilliant color. Feel free to use any hard squash like acorn or pumpkin too.
  • Carrots
    The carrots roast up tender with a hint of sweetness. I love the contrast of their bright orange against the other fall hues.
  • Crunchy Pecans
    Chopped pecans toast up to add a delicious crunch and nuttiness. Walnuts or hazelnuts would be tasty too.

Tips For Roasting Perfect Autumn Roasted Vegetables

While this recipe comes together quickly, there are a few tips to ensure your Autumn Roasted Vegetables come out caramelized and full of flavor:

  • Cut the vegetables uniformly. Try to cut all the veggies to a similar size so they will cook at the same rate. I aim for around 1 inch pieces.
  • Toss with oil and seasonings. Coating the vegetables in oil helps them get golden brown and crispy edges. I season with just a bit of salt, pepper and garlic for flavor without overpowering the veggies.
  • Roast at a high temperature. Cranking up the oven temp to 400°F gives you the caramelized exterior and tender interior you want.
  • Flip halfway through. Flipping the veggies midway through roasting ensures even cooking.
  • Roast until fork tender. The potatoes should easily pierce with a fork when they are done.

Reasons You Will Love This Recipe

Doesn’t that look like the perfect fall side dish? The mixture of colors and textures is so appealing. Your Autumn Roasted Vegetables will fill your kitchen with the cozy aromas of fall as they roast. Now let’s go over some serving suggestions and storage tips.

Serving Suggestions for Autumn Roasted Vegetables

These versatile Autumn Roasted Vegetables pair well with a variety of main dishes:

  • Roast chicken or turkey
  • Pork chops or tenderloin
  • Pot roasts or brisket
  • Sausage and peppers sheet pan dinner
  • Fish like salmon or cod
  • Vegan mains like chickpea curry or lentil loaf

Basically anything you’d typically serve with roasted veggies would go perfectly with this recipe. The possibilities are endless!

Storing Your Leftover Autumn Roasted Vegetables

While this recipe makes a generous amount, you likely won’t have leftovers since it’s so tasty! But if you do, proper storage is important:

  • Let the roasted vegetables cool completely before storing.
  • Transfer to an airtight container or zip top bag.
  • Refrigerate for 3-5 days.

Reheat leftovers in a 400°F oven until warmed through, about 15 minutes. Add a splash of olive oil or broth if the veggies seem dry.

The flavors meld together even more as it sits, so your leftovers might be even tastier!

I wanted to share a few more tips to help you get perfect roasted veggies every time:

  • Use Fresh Garlic: The garlic granules season just fine, but 2-3 minced garlic cloves would provide even more flavor.
  • Get Creative With Seasonings: Try rosemary, thyme, chili powder, cumin or curry powder for more spice.
  • Toss In Cranberries: Dried cranberries lend festive tartness and color.
  • Finish With Herbs: Fresh parsley, cilantro or chives on top adds brightness.
  • Drizzle With Balsamic: A glug of good balsamic vinegar balances the richness.
  • Grate On Cheese: Asiago, parmesan, cheddar or feta offer savory garnish.

Now that you’re feeling inspired, let’s go over some FAQs.

Frequently Asked Questions

A standard 18 x 13 inch rimmed baking sheet provides plenty of room to roast the vegetables in a single layer.

I recommend using fresh since frozen won’t caramelize as nicely. But if you only have frozen, just increase the cook time about 5-10 minutes and ensure that you’ve dried them as much as possible.

Peeling makes the prep go a bit faster, but you can certainly roast them unpeeled if you prefer.

Using a serrated knife helps slice through the potatoes cleanly.

Absolutely! Just use two pans or roast in batches to avoid overcrowding.
