Herbed Vegetable Medley

Valentina

Crisp-tender roasted veggies tossed together with fresh herbs and olive oil. Simple, satisfying, and and restaurant-quality. The secret is in the cast iron char to get that extra layer of freshly grilled flavor. Don't fiddle with them too much during that step, as that's how you get those crispy, blackened edges.

Shopping List
  • 1/2 small kabocha pumpkin (about 2 heaping cups, Note 1)
  • 5 rainbow carrots (or regular carrots)
  • 1 bunch broccolini
  • 2 zucchini
  • 1 heaping cup green beans (about 2 small handfuls)
  • 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons shallot, chopped
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Cut the green beans and broccolini in half to shorten them. Slice the zucchini into half moon shapes about 1/2 inch thick.
  2. Step 2: Cut the carrots and kabocha into 1 to 2 inch chunks. Toss the kabocha and carrots in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping them over halfway through the cooking time.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, heat a large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Once sizzling hot, add the broccolini, zucchini, and green beans in a single layer (you will need to do several batches). Spread the vegetables evenly over the pan, then cover with a lid for 4 minutes. Do not stir. After 4 minutes, transfer vegetables to a bowl. Repeat this process with the remaining vegetables.
  4. Step 4: Transfer the roasted kabocha and carrots to the bowl of seared vegetables. Add the remaining shallots, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic, fresh parsley, lemon juice, and dried herbs to the bowl. Toss to combine. Add the seasoned vegetables back into the hot cast iron and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. Serve: Enjoy. This is great alongside Lentil Burgers.

Recipe Notes

Note 1: There is no need to peel the kabocha pumpkin, since the green peel is actually edible. Only peel areas that are bumpy or discolored.
