Recipe Notes & Tips

• Be sure to use a baking pan large enough so that you can really spread the veggies out. If they become too stacked, they will not cook evenly. You can also use a shallow roasting pan.
• Feel free to experiment with fresh or dried herbs for seasoning! I love the basic olive oil, salt & pepper and parsley combo, but adding others would be great,. Italian seasoning or fresh thyme leaves is always a simple and delicious addition. Feel free to experiment with your favorite herbs.
• You can sprinkle a little onion powder and garlic powder over the vegetables before cooking for more flavor.
• You can make this delicious meal with all sorts of other proteins as well! Protein cooking time will vary by option.
• I like to use flat-leaf, Italian parsley, but you can use curly parsley as well.
• Breast meat of the chicken should read an internal temperature of 165F on a meat thermometer.
• Mince the cloves of garlic finely or run them through a garlic press. You can also add a few whole garlic cloves if you really love them, like me!
• ​Try a little lemon zest with the herb mixture for a fresh flavor addition.

What To Serve With Simple Roast Chicken and Vegetables

The beauty of this meal is that it is a one-pan dream meal come true! If you are looking for something extra to serve it with, consider a fresh green salad like this delightful Classic Chopped Salad or making a batch of Mashed Potatoes or a side of Instant Pot Rice.

If you’re looking to add more vegetables, simple Steamed Green Beans or sweet potatoes are the perfect choice.

How Long Do Roasted Vegetables Last In The Fridge

Stored properly, roasted vegetables will be good for 4-5 days. Make sure leftovers have cooled completely to room temperature before covering for storage. Place in an airtight container or ziploc bag and store in the coldest part of your fridge. Coincidentally, the cooked chicken will also be good for 4-5 days.

How To Freeze Cooked Chicken and Vegetables

Place cooked chicken and vegetables in a Ziploc freezer bag after it has fully cooled. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Allow frozen leftovers to thaw before reheating.

How to Reheat

Reheat leftovers on a microwave safe plate in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, depending on wattage. Give the food a slight stir and reheat for another 30 seconds or until heated through.

What To Do With Leftover Roasted Vegetables    

Leftover vegetables can be used in a variety of ways. Toss them in a salad, add them on a pizza, or they make a great veggie wrap or sandwich on pita or a soft roll. They’re also amazing in an omelet or in a breakfast scramble bowl.
