Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Asparagus (trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces)
- 1 pound Carrots (peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds)
- 1 pound Broccoli florets (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 8 ounces Sugar snap peas (trimmed)
- 1 medium Red onion (cut into wedges)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for dressing)
- 1/4 cup Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss asparagus, carrots, broccoli, sugar snap peas, and red onion with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until vegetables are tender-crisp and lightly browned, flipping halfway through.
- While vegetables are roasting, prepare the lemon-herb dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, parsley, dill, garlic, and Dijon mustard.
- Once vegetables are done roasting, transfer them to a serving bowl. Pour the lemon-herb dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat.
- Serve immediately or at room temperature. Garnish with extra fresh herbs, if desired.
Notes
- For a sweeter flavor, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the lemon-herb dressing. Feel free to substitute other spring vegetables like radishes or green beans. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
