Curious how to roast fruits and vegetables together in the oven? It’s as easy as it is delicious!

Don’t throw away produce that is starting to age or show signs of distress. Simply roast it! It is as easy as 1-2-3. Fruits and veggies taste great when roasted together. You’ll love the sweet and savory flavors.

How To Roast Fruits and Vegetables in the Oven

Step 1:

Begin by prepping the produce you want to use. Wash, peel, core, and slice each produce item as you typically would, depending on the item.

Step 2:

Place prepped produce into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then mix.

Step 3:

Spread the the produce mixture evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lay a few sprigs of fresh thyme on top.

Step 4:

Roast in the oven at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until it is fork-tender and juices are starting to release. Divide produce evenly into bowls and serve.

Some of our favorite fruits and veggies to roast together are sweet potatoes, pears, strawberries, and green grapes — but you can use any produce items you have on hand.
