Step-by-Step: How to Make Sheet‑Pan Roasted Veggies with Tzatziki & Pita
1. Preheat and Prep
Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper to make cleanup quick and easy.
In a big mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well until all the veggies are evenly coated. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
Arrange the vegetables in a single, even layer across the sheet pan. Don’t overcrowd—you want them to roast, not steam.
2. Roast to Perfection
Pop the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway through. The veggies should be tender, lightly charred in spots, and caramelized around the edges.
3. Prepare the Tzatziki
While the veggies roast, mix up the tzatziki.
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (make sure it’s well squeezed), minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, chopped dill or mint, and a pinch of salt. Stir until creamy.
Taste and adjust the seasoning—add more lemon for tang or more herbs for brightness. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
4. Warm the Pita
In the last 5 minutes of roasting, wrap your pita bread in foil and place it in the oven to warm through. This softens it and gives it that irresistible freshly-baked aroma.
5. Assemble and Serve
Pile your roasted vegetables into a serving bowl or platter. Add warm wedges of pita on the side and a generous scoop of chilled tzatziki.
Sprinkle with extra chopped herbs if you like, and bring it to the table family-style. It’s simple, rustic, and made to be shared.
What to Serve with It
This dish is a meal on its own—but it’s also an incredible base for pairing with:
- A side of hummus, baba ganoush, or muhammara
- A light Mediterranean couscous or tabbouleh salad
- Grilled lemon herb chicken for a more protein-forward plate
- Or for something sweet and savory, try the Maple Balsamic Chicken with Roasted Pear Orzo on the side
Whether you’re keeping it plant-based or adding more texture, you’ve got plenty of flavorful directions to take it.
Tips for the Best Roasted Veggies
- High heat is key: Roast at 425°F to encourage browning and caramelization.
- Spread them out: Crowded veggies steam instead of roast. Use two pans if necessary.
- Salt after roasting: A final sprinkle of flaky salt after baking really boosts flavor.
- Make ahead: Roast the veggies and prep the tzatziki in advance. Warm and serve when needed.
