Ingredients
- 2 cups zucchini
- 1 cup carrots
- 1.5 cups broccoli
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place 2 cups chopped zucchini, 1 cup sliced carrots, and 1.5 cups broccoli florets on a parchment-lined sheet pan, arranging in a single layer without overlapping.
- Step 2: Whisk 2 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, and 1/2 tsp sea salt in a small bowl until the ginger dissolves, then drizzle evenly over the vegetables on the sheet pan.
- Step 3: Toss the vegetables gently with tongs until fully coated, then spread into a single layer again. Roast for 20-22 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until edges are golden brown and vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork, with no raw crunch remaining.
