Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 1 cup bell peppers, chopped
Cowboy Butter
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for roasting the vegetables evenly and developing a golden, crispy exterior.
- Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, Brussels sprouts, sliced carrots, and chopped bell peppers to prepare for coating with the cowboy butter.
- Make the Cowboy Butter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, fresh parsley, fresh chives, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful, creamy sauce.
- Coat the Vegetables: Pour the cowboy butter mixture over the vegetables and toss well until all pieces are evenly coated with the sauce, ensuring every bite is flavorful.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the coated vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow for even cooking.
- Roast the Vegetables: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even browning and cooking, until the vegetables are tender and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving to enjoy their crispy, creamy texture.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure vegetables are spread out in a single layer without overcrowding the pan.
- Feel free to substitute or add other hearty vegetables like sweet potatoes or cauliflower.
- The smoked paprika can be adjusted or replaced with regular paprika if a milder flavor is preferred.
- Use fresh herbs for best flavor; dried herbs may alter the taste.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
