What I Love About Autumn Roasted Vegetables
I anticipate cooling weather and brisk days ahead as I pass our local farms and peruse my farmers’ market. Dishes like these autumn roasted vegetables occupy my culinary imaginings.
There is almost nothing more delicious than caramelized veggies. They are so incredibly easy to throw on a sheet pan, yet the results are so tasty. They are a beautiful accompaniment to any meal.
While this is simple enough to prepare anytime in the season, it’s extra good for the holidays.
For me, the addition of apples makes all the difference in fall vegetable dishes. It lends a beautiful, slightly sweet yet savory flavor to all of this roasted goodness.
Roasted Fall Vegetables
Below is my base recipe. But to be honest, I add any veggies to my fridge. I love halved Brussels sprouts and butternut squash—well, the list is actually endless! Use your imagination; it won’t steer you wrong.

I notice lemon and garlic in your picture but not recipe. Have you added lemon and garlic to it before?
Yes! I add them both often. For some reason, those ingredients were not showing up on the card. Thank you for calling that to my attention so I could fix it. Other ingredients I sometimes add to this mix is beets, chilis peppers, thin slices of pumpkins or squash, and rutabaga.
