Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut 1 cup broccoli florets and 1 cup bell pepper strips into uniform 1-inch pieces.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, toss 1 cup broccoli florets, 1 cup bell pepper strips, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Spread vegetables in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until vegetables are tender-crisp with slightly charred edges.
  5. Step 5: Check for doneness by piercing a broccoli floret with a fork—it should slide through easily without resistance.

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep florets broccoli from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Two-Color Roasted Vegetable Medley?

For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Two-Color Roasted Vegetable Medley for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
