Parmesan Roasted Vegetables

Hey friends! It’s Liz from Love Grows Wild, and I have been bursting at the seams waiting to share this delicious side dish with you! This time of year, our gardens and grocery stores are overflowing with fresh produce, and I’m all about taking advantage of this glorious season. Fresh sweet corn? Amazing. Just-picked strawberries? Glorious. Juicy, perfectly-ripe peaches? Don’t even get me started. It’s always easy for me to find ways to incorporate fresh fruit into my diet, but vegetables can be a bit more of a challenge. Zucchini and cauliflower aren’t all that exciting, right? My mom made these Parmesan Roasted Vegetables for us a few weeks ago, and I’ve made them at least 4 or 5 times since. Ah-mazing! You’re going to love this simple, easy, and super flavorful side dish!

These yummy vegetables are roasted in the oven with a coating of Italian dressing (tons of flavor!) and a panko/Parmesan mixture that is out-of-this-world. The coating gets super crispy, almost like the vegetables were fried, and the zesty Italian dressing soaks into the vegetables making them extra flavorful. This recipe is easy to make, cooks up quickly, and can be used with almost ANY vegetable you have on hand! This time I made them with zucchini, cauliflower, and red peppers, but I’ve made versions with green beans and squash that are amazing too. Pick your favorite veg, add a cheesy breadcrumb coating, then roast till perfection! This has become a staple recipe in my kitchen this summer, and I hope you enjoy it too!
