Embark on a culinary journey to the heart of Italy with our tantalizing Italian Roasted Vegetable Medley. This vibrant and flavorful dish showcases a colorful array of fresh vegetables, each roasted to perfection and infused with the aromatic essence of herbs and spices. From the earthy sweetness of bell peppers and zucchini to the delicate bite of broccoli and carrots, every ingredient harmonizes to create a symphony of flavors.
In this comprehensive guide, we present two enticing variations of this classic recipe. The first recipe takes you on a traditional route, utilizing a medley of vegetables that are roasted in a fragrant blend of olive oil, garlic, and rosemary. The result is a delectable side dish that complements any main course.
For those seeking a more vibrant and robust flavor profile, the second recipe introduces a tantalizing twist. We incorporate a zesty marinade made with balsamic vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard, which infuses the vegetables with a delightful tanginess. The roasted vegetables are then finished with a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese, adding a touch of savory richness to balance the sweetness.
Whether you prefer the classic simplicity of the traditional recipe or the bold flavors of the balsamic-marinated variation, our Italian Roasted Vegetable Medley promises to tantalize your taste buds. These recipes are not only easy to follow but also versatile enough to adapt to your preferences. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and let's embark on a culinary adventure that celebrates the vibrant flavors of Italy.
EASY PASTA PRIMAVERA RECIPE
Simple pasta primavera with roasted vegetables and dressed in a light sauce using the pasta cooking water, extra virgin olive oil, lemon zest and a little Parmesan cheese. I use a medley of vegetables, and you can feel free to change them up depending on what is in season! This is a great way to keep your primavera exciting and delicious. If you want to add some extra protein, throw in some quick lemon chicken or grilled shrimp skewers.

NORTHERN ITALIAN VEGETABLE MEDLEY
I love Northern Italian food. It's just filled with good vegetables and good flavor. I love to make this in the summer when these vegetables are in season. The recipe says you can shake a little Parmesan over top, I prefer to use shredded fresh Parmesan. I serve this with a roasted whole chicken, Cornish hen, or pheasant. Serve...

Steps:
- 1. In a steamer, place the sliced carrots, the whole new potatoes, and broccoli florets. Place a lid on top and allow vegetables to steam until done to your liking. (I don't let them steam too long since I like my vegetables crunchy. Remember, you're going to add them to the skillet and cook them a little further.)
- 2. In a large skillet, pour the olive oil. Add all the seasonings, and sauté the zucchini and mushrooms for about 7-10 minutes.
- 3. When done, add all the steamed vegetables to the skillet, toss well to coat with the olive oil and seasonings. Heat thoroughly and serve.
- 4. (Can be served with a couple of shakes of Parmesan cheese on top, if desired)

Steps:
- In a large nonstick frying pan put the olive oil, garlic and red chili flakes (optional). Heat over high heat until the edges of the garlic start to brown.
- Add the carrots, yellow squash and zucchini and stir to blend.
- Add the Italian seasoning and stir again.
- Flip the vegetables over occasionally using a spachula. Some of the vegetables should get brown spots on them, but the vegetables taste best if there is still a slight crispness to them.
- When the vegetables are ready, add salt.
- Turn off heat.
- If desired, stir in a deseeded and diced roma (plum) tomato at this time-optional.
- I have had similar recipes at Italian restaurants, so I eventually made up my own recipe to go with my meals at home.
