Lemon Roasted Potato Vegetable Medley

Lemon Roasted Potato Vegetable Medley is a refreshing citrus and garlic-infused vegetable medley and a great side dish with any meal.

During the summer season of fresh vegetables, we love to mix and match a sheet pan of vegetables with fresh herbs, lemon, garlic, and olive oil.

This vegetable medley goes great with anything you're serving it with as a side dish.

You can mix and match the vegetables you prefer we used our family favorites.

Tips and Other Cooking Methods for Lemon-Roasted Vegetables

  • Steamed: don't overcook them, add to a basket for 7 to 9 minutes,(depending on thickness) then check them before continuing cooking to how you prefer them
  • Microwaved: I add a little water, cover it, and make it steam for around 7 minutes
  • Air frying(see photo below):  brush the oil, and season with your favorite spices. Place on your wire basket, and air fry at 400 for 11 minutes or until crunchy or slightly browned. You can make these ahead of time, refrigerate them covered, and reheat them in foil. 
  • use only fresh vegetables not frozen and any assorted you prefer (cook from soft to al dente')
  • always cook at a high temperature ( around 400 degrees is perfect), don't crowd the vegetables on top of each other, rotate the pan when roasting spray with cooking oil, or brush with olive oil
