Ingredients
Scale
Root Vegetables
- 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 parsnips, peeled and chopped
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
Other Vegetables
- 2 cups broccoli florets
Seasonings and Oil
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Cheese Blend
- 1/2 cup Gruyère, shredded
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar, shredded
- 1/4 cup Parmesan, grated
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). While it heats, wash and chop your vegetables into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and roasting.
- Toss Vegetables with Oil and Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the chopped root vegetables and broccoli florets with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly so each piece is well coated.
- Roast the Vegetables: Spread the veggies out evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer to ensure they roast rather than steam. Place in the oven and roast for about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through for even caramelization.
- Add the Cheese Blend: After the vegetables are golden and tender, sprinkle the Gruyère, sharp cheddar, and Parmesan mix evenly over the top. Return to the oven and bake for another 5-8 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.
- Finish and Serve: Once the cheese is beautifully melted and slightly browned, remove from the oven. Let cool just enough to enjoy the perfect combo of crispy, cheesy vegetables.
Notes
- Chop vegetables evenly to ensure consistent roasting and avoid burning or undercooking.
- Use freshly grated cheese for better melting and superior flavor compared to pre-shredded varieties.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; giving vegetables enough space allows for proper roasting and browning.
- Stir the vegetables halfway through roasting to promote even caramelization on all sides.
- Customize herbs according to your taste preferences to add personal flavor.
- Fresh chopped parsley or chives make excellent garnishes and add color and flavor balance.
