Description

A vibrant and flavorful medley of spring vegetables, roasted to perfection and tossed in a bright lemon-herb dressing. This makes a delightful and colorful side dish for your Easter feast or any spring gathering.


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

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 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.
  3. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until vegetables are tender-crisp and lightly browned, flipping halfway through.
  4. 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.
  5. Once vegetables are done roasting, transfer them to a serving bowl. Pour the lemon-herb dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat.
  6. 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.
