I drizzle the mixture over the vegetables and toss everything right on the pan until coated.

Servings and timing
This recipe serves 4 as a side or 2 as a main dish. It takes about 35 minutes total—10 minutes to prep and 25–30 minutes to roast.
Variations
Sometimes I add potatoes or chickpeas for a heartier version. I’ve also used carrots or mushrooms, depending on what I have. For extra protein, I serve the veggies over quinoa or alongside grilled chicken or fish. A drizzle of tahini or tzatziki on top adds a creamy finish if I want something different.
Storage/Reheating
I store the roasted vegetables in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, I warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, or quickly sauté them in a pan. They’re also delicious cold or at room temperature in salads or wraps.
FAQs
Can I use frozen vegetables?
I prefer fresh for the best texture, but if I use frozen, I roast them straight from frozen and adjust the cooking time slightly to avoid sogginess.
What herbs work best with this recipe?
Oregano is classic for Greek flavor, but I also like adding thyme or rosemary. For freshness, I top with chopped parsley or dill before serving.
Can I meal prep this?
Yes, this is a great meal prep recipe. I roast a big batch and use it throughout the week in bowls, wraps, or as a quick side.
How do I keep the vegetables from getting mushy?
I spread them out in a single layer with space between them so they roast instead of steam. I also avoid overcrowding the pan.
Is this recipe vegan?
Yes, it’s naturally vegan. If I want to keep it that way, I skip the feta or use a plant-based alternative.
Conclusion
One Pan Greek Vegetables is one of my favorite ways to enjoy a healthy, flavorful meal with minimal effort. It’s easy to customize, great for meal prep, and full of Mediterranean goodness. Whether I’m eating it on its own or pairing it with a protein, this dish always brings bright, fresh flavor to the table.
