Seasoning Ideas for Roasting Any Vegetables

Since this is a post about roasting vegetables, I thought I would share some seasoning combos I love. Add a pinch of salt and a bit of pepper to each for delicious flavor combinations.

• Olive Oil and Sea Salt: My favorite - the classic combination that enhances the natural flavors of the vegetables.
• Garlic and Rosemary: Crushed garlic cloves and fresh rosemary sprigs infuse the vegetables with aromatic, earthy flavors.
• Lemon Zest and Thyme: Grated lemon zest and fresh thyme leaves add a bright, citrusy note to your roasted veggies.
• Vegan Parmesan and Black Pepper: A generous sprinkle of grated vegan Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper creates a savory, cheesy crust.
• Balsamic Vinegar and Maple Syrup: A drizzle of balsamic vinegar and maple syrup glaze caramelizes the vegetables, offering a sweet and tangy profile.
• Cumin and Coriander: With a pinch of salt, these earthy spices bring a hint of smokiness and depth to your roasted vegetables.
• Paprika and Cayenne Pepper: For a touch of heat and a smoky, slightly sweet flavor, try a blend of paprika and cayenne pepper.
• Soy Sauce and Sesame Oil: An Asian-inspired combination that delivers a savory umami flavor with a hint of nuttiness.
• Italian Herb Blend: Use a mixture of dried herbs like oregano, basil, thyme, and parsley for a Mediterranean-inspired flavor profile.
• Curry Powder and Turmeric: Aromatic curry powder and turmeric give your roasted vegetables a warm and slightly spicy kick.
• Vegan Pesto: Either purchase your favorite vegan pesto or make this easy-to-prepare Pistachio Pesto or Vegan Sunflower Seed Pesto and combine with the vegetables.
