- Honey: Balances the mustard’s sharpness with natural sweetness—and aids caramelization.

How to Make Honey Dijon Roasted Veggie Medley
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven heats up, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This not only ensures easy cleanup but also helps the veggies roast evenly without sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Honey Dijon Glaze
In a small bowl, make the magic happen by whisking together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice (or vinegar), garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. You’ll end up with a silky-smooth glaze that packs tons of flavor—taste it and adjust the seasoning if you’d like a bit more tang or sweetness.
Step 3: Coat the Vegetables
Add all your prepped vegetables to the lined baking sheet. Drizzle the honey Dijon glaze generously over the top, then toss everything together right on the tray until every veggie is gloriously glossy and evenly coated.
Step 4: Roast to Perfection
Spread the vegetables out in a single, even layer—give them some space so they roast instead of steam. Slide the tray into the oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes. Stir halfway through to ensure caramelization on all sides. You’ll know they’re ready when edges are golden and veggies are tender with a slight crisp.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Pull the Honey Dijon Roasted Veggie Medley from the oven and marvel at the color. Serve them warm as a standout side dish, or pile them over quinoa or rice for a hearty, nourishing meal all on their own.
How to Serve Honey Dijon Roasted Veggie Medley
Garnishes
A sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley or chives instantly brightens the finished dish, while a dusting of lemon zest adds a fresh, zingy pop. Toss on some toasted seeds or slivered almonds for a little crunch if you’re feeling fancy!
Side Dishes
The Honey Dijon Roasted Veggie Medley plays well with everything—think herby roasted chicken, grilled salmon, or fluffy couscous. For a plant-based meal, try tucking them into wraps with hummus or serving over soft polenta with a sprinkle of feta.
Creative Ways to Present
Stuff the roasted veggies into pita pockets for a colorful lunch, or top a bed of greens with warm medley for an easy, elevated salad. Leftovers? Add an egg on top for a quick breakfast hash or use as a flavorful pizza topping!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Store leftover Honey Dijon Roasted Veggie Medley in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. The flavors mellow and deepen as they sit, making leftovers extra delicious the next day.
Freezing
These roasted veggies freeze beautifully. Let them cool completely, then pack in a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll keep for up to two months—just note that some vegetables may soften a bit after thawing but the flavors remain fantastic.
Reheating
To reheat, spread the veggies on a sheet pan and warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until hot. You can also zap them in the microwave for a quick fix, though the oven will help restore their perfect texture.
FAQs
Can I use different vegetables in the Honey Dijon Roasted Veggie Medley?
Absolutely! If you have cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, or sweet potatoes on hand, toss them in. Just keep an eye on roasting times, as denser veggies may need a few extra minutes.
Is this dish vegan?
As written, the Honey Dijon Roasted Veggie Medley contains honey, so it’s not vegan. If you want a vegan version, simply swap the honey for maple syrup or agave—both deliver lovely sweetness.
Can I double the recipe for a crowd?
Yes! Just use two large baking sheets so your veggies have enough space to roast properly, and rotate the pans halfway through baking for even results.
What’s the best way to prevent soggy veggies?
Make sure your vegetables are well dried after washing, and don’t overcrowd your baking sheet. Room between veggies lets the heat circulate and delivers that perfect caramelization.
Can I make the Honey Dijon Roasted Veggie Medley ahead of time?
You sure can! Prep and toss the veggies with glaze a few hours in advance. Keep them refrigerated, then roast just before serving for maximum freshness and flavor.
