Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Group vegetables by cooking time: pumpkin and potatoes need longest, carrots and Brussels sprouts medium, onions shortest.

  3. 3

    Toss all vegetables except onion wedges with olive oil, salt, pepper, and herb sprigs in a large bowl.

  4. 4

    Spread vegetables in a single layer across prepared baking sheets. Do not overcrowd or vegetables will steam.

  5. 5

    Roast for 25 minutes, then add onion wedges and whole garlic cloves to the pans.

  6. 6

    Continue roasting for another 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until all vegetables are tender and caramelized.

  7. 7

    Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and return to oven for 5 final minutes.

  8. 8

    Transfer to a large serving platter. Scatter with crumbled feta and pomegranate seeds if using.

Tips, Variations and Storage

Tips: Cut vegetables to similar sizes for even cooking. Roasting on two pans prevents overcrowding and ensures proper caramelization. Variations: Swap in any seasonal vegetables such as beets, parsnips, or fennel. Finish with toasted nuts or seeds for added texture. Storage: Leftovers keep refrigerated for 4 days. Reheat in a hot oven to restore crispness.
