Description
A vibrant and easy-to-make side dish, Quick Roasted Vegetables With Goat Cheese combines caramelized vegetables with creamy, tangy crumbles of goat cheese. It’s ready in under 30 minutes, perfect for busy weeknights or make-ahead meal prep.
Ingredients
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
2 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
1 red onion, cut into wedges
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and black pepper to taste
4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Place all the sliced vegetables in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is well-coated.
3. Spread the veggies evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender with slightly crisped edges. Stir once halfway through for even cooking.
4. Once out of the oven, immediately sprinkle the warm vegetables with crumbled goat cheese. Let it soften and melt just a bit before serving.
5. Top with fresh thyme if desired. Serve warm as a side or as the star of a grain bowl.
Notes
For extra crispiness, don’t overcrowd your baking sheet — use two if needed.
Swap goat cheese with feta or parmesan for a different flavor profile.
Leftovers are great in wraps, omelets, or tossed with quinoa.
