  • Panko Breadcrumbs: Gives a crispy texture and yummy flavor.

How to Make Parmesan Roasted Vegetables

This dish comes together quickly and easily. Plus, your kiddos can jump in and help, and they might actually decide they like veggies!

  1. Prep: Preheat oven to 425ยบ Fahrenheit and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Coat: Toss the vegetables in a large bowl with the oil, butter, and garlic.
  3. Bread: Combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl, then add the vegetables and panko mixture to a large ziplock bag. Close the bag tightly and shake until all the vegetables are evenly coated. You may have to press the veggies into the remaining panko mixture to coat them well.
  4. Spread out on pan: Place the breaded vegetables on the prepared baking sheets leaving a little space between them.
  5. Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender and the panko breading is golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately.

Tips for Parmesan Roasted Vegetables

This recipe is fairly straightforward, but I wanted to give you a few tips and variations you can think about using.

  • Variations: Choose vegetables that you love! If you don’t love what I picked, try using Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, beets, green beans, red onions, or even parsnips and turnips.
  • Cheese Options: The best kind of parmesan for this recipe is a block finely grated on a microplane. You can use pre-shredded, but because of its size, it won’t brown quite as well.
  • Vegetable Cook Time: If you find that one vegetable is cooking and browning much faster than the others, remove it from the sheet pan before the others are ready.
  • Oil Options: I like using a blend of oil and butter for these veggies. However, you can substitute them individually with two tablespoons each, or use four tablespoons of your favorite oil for a different flavor profile.

How to Reheat Leftovers 

Any leftovers of these parmesan-roasted vegetables can be stored in an airtight container in your fridge for 2-3 days. Reheating them is the key to making them taste delicious! 

  • In the Oven: You can use the microwave, but it tends to make the veggies soggy. To reheat them in the oven, spread the veggies on a baking sheet, then drizzle or spray them with a little olive oil. Cook them at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5 minutes or until they are warmed through. 
  • In the Air Fryer: You can also cook leftovers in the air fryer for about 3-4 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Donโ€™t stack or crowd them!
