Spring is Coming Veggie Toss Recipe

Sharing is caring!

I can’t wait to throw some vegetables on the grill. I am ready for a burst of smoky flavor and unbelievable taste. However, since it is still pretty cold, I have to reserve to the indoor cooking. However, I am putting my food down and making the first vegetable toss – baked in the oven to perfection!

If you struggle to stay optimistic because of the delayed winter-wonder, I suggest you pick your favorite summer vegetable and get cooking. It might cost a little more off season, but if this is what will get you happy, go for it!

COOKING WITH CHILDREN NOTE:

My daughter loves helping, but since she is 6, she had limited involvment. In this recipe she was able to:

  • Husk corn

  • Put ingredients into the mixing bowl

  • Chop some vegetables
  • Clean the floor

When chopping vegetables with a help of a child, please make sure you are actually doing it with her/him and remind your child to keep fingers together and as far from the knife as possible. Provide additional support to the vegetable with your own hands, hold the knife over your child’s hand and go very v-e-r-y slow.

For this recipe I used (see the complete recipe print card below):

  • 3 ears of corn
  • 3-4 potatoes
  • A handful of baby carrots
  • 2 colored peppers
  • 3 green onions

For seasoning:  5 TBSP of oil, 1/2 TSP of salt, 1/4 TSP of pepper, 1 TBSP vegetable spice (we use Vegeta), 1/2 TBSP Italian spice, and 1 TSP garlic powder

INSTRUCTIONS

Chop the vegetables: Cut the corn into 3 pieces, peel and dice potatoes and zucchini, cut baby carrots in half, slice sweet peppers and cut the green onions.
Mix seasonings .
Combine all veggies in a large mixing bowl, add the seasoning mix over it.
Toss to coat.
Add more olive oil if needed and give it another good shake.
Wrap them up in heavy duty aluminum foil and bake in the oven at 400 for 1-1.5 hours.

Enjoy!

    This looks wonderful! I am a vegetarian and this sounds like a great recipe.
    We are a big fan of Morton’s “Nature’s Seasons” spice, which is a good general seasoning for veggies. I’m going to have to try the Vegeta!

    So close to actually having fresh vegetable at the farmer’s market. Thanks for the idea, this will come in handy for whenever spring actually arrives!

    I have a California Shrimp Bake recipe that is done very similar, I never thought of roasting veggies like this. I love all the colors, great for getting kids to eat healthier!

    I have all of our vegetables that we freeze from the garden. I roast them all the time in the oven. Nothing tastes better!
