Instructions
Heat the oven to 450 degrees and coat an 18 x 12 rimmed baking sheet with avocado spray. The hot oven and lightly greased pan help the vegetables start browning as soon as they hit the surface.
Add the onion, zucchini, eggplant, red pepper, cauliflower, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts to a large bowl, then toss them with the avocado oil, sea salt, dried oregano, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Keep mixing until the vegetables look evenly glossy so the seasoning clings to every piece.
Spread the vegetables over the prepared pan in a single layer and roast for 20 minutes, then stir and roast 10 minutes more. They are ready when the edges are lightly brown, the brassicas smell sweet and toasty, and a knife slides into the thickest pieces with little resistance.
Notes
Sogginess tip: Dry the vegetables completely and spread them in a single layer without overcrowding the pan to ensure they roast instead of steaming.Storage: Store cooled vegetables in shallow, airtight containers in the refrigerator. Avoid freezing, as zucchini, eggplant, and peppers lose their texture after thawing.Reheating: For crispy leftovers, spread the vegetables back onto a sheet pan or use an air fryer instead of reheating them in the microwave.Nutrition information is an estimate based on common ingredients and serving sizes.
