Oven roasted veggies,I always used to drool at the pictures of these whenever i see in Instagram and Food gawker. Some how it was big mind block for me to try my hands on Oven roasted veggies. When i did a cookery demo here in Singapore, i once attempted a Veg shaslik in barbecue sauce, which was made on tawa. Oven roasted veggies is similar to this only. Few weeks back, while i was chatting with my school friends, one of my friend told that she makes oven roasted vegetables on a regular basis. I got the tips from her and she clarified all my silly doubts and finally i made the oven roasted veggies, with a simple seasoning of salt and pepper. Try this at home and enjoy your meal.
Oven-roasted vegetables recipe
Preparation Time : 15 mins + 20 mins resting time | Cooking Time : 45 Mins |Serves: 4
Mixed vegetables* 3 cups
Oil 1 tblsp
For the spice mix
Red chili powder 1 tsp
Cumin powder 1/2 tsp
Chaat masala 1/2 tsp
Amchur powder 1/2 tsp
Salt as needed
Pepper powder 1 tsp
Thick yogurt 1 tblsp
Kasoori methi a pinch
*I used Sweet potato, yellow pumpkin, broccoli, carrot, baby corn, bell peppers and Zucchini. You can add potato, radish,cauliflower,onions, Brussels sprouts,eggplant and baby potatoes too. I personally find beetroots didn’t taste well in this way ( I love beetroots)
Method:
- Slice the veggies into big cubes.
- Generally root veggies like potato, sweet potato will take a longer time to roast and carrots, pumpkin,cauliflower and broccoli will roast soon.
- But i put everything together and i am happy with the result.
- You can just add pepper and dried herbs mix only and roast the veggies. But i want an Indian touch to the roasted veggies, so i added the Indian spices.
- Put all the cut veggies into a wide bowl.
- Add all the items mentioned under the head”for the spice mix”.
- Add the oil to this.
- Mix well and keep it aside for 20 minutes.
- Now line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Preheat the oven at 160 degree Celsius for 5 minutes.
- Arrange the marinated veggies on the parchment paper.
- Let them roast in the oven fro 30- 35 minutes.
- Prick the sweet potato with a toothpick and if it is cooked, take it out from the oven. You can cook for 10 more minutes to get extra crispiness.
- Turn the vegetables in between for even roasting.
- Serve this with rice or cooked couscous or quinoa.
- We had with peas pulao, dabba dal and oven roasted veggies.
- The kids love this in between their sandwich along with a slice of cheese.
- I have tried a small batch in tawa. It turned out well but for big batches it will not work out much.
- Also tawa method requires more of oil too.

Wonderful. I want to know whether to bake it in convection mode after preheating the oven and arranging the veggies in baking tray or in micro power level. I am having convection microwave oven.
Oh so sorry,i don't have idea on convection oven.
Which brand oven/microwave do you use?
Sorry about the delayed reply. I use the local make one, Sona brand.
