I love cooking delicious dinners for my family, but by the time I’ve made the main dish, the side dish is usually an afterthought. I love roasting vegetables in the oven because it is quick, easy and they come out perfectly tender. I knew I wasn’t going to have a lot of time later in the day to make dinner, so I whipped this recipe up in a few minutes, let my slow cooker do the work for me. We had a tasty side dish ready by dinnertime!

Have you ever used frozen veggies? And have you ever used sweet potatoes? Wondering if those might work…
Looks Delicious!!
I have used frozen veggies for other recipes . . . they definitely don’t need to cook as long because they tend to get mushy. And sweet potatoes totally work! They are so good! 🙂
Since I dont have a Slow~Cooker at the moment, Can I do these in the oven? If so what temp & how long??
Here is my page; simple vegetables,
Oven is best! 425 for 50 minutes. Make sure there is extra virgin olive oil. The tops should get a little charred giving it an even better taste
Sweet potatoes cook pretty rapidly compared to white potatoes. If you use both, cut the sweet potatoes in larger pieces so they don’t mash all up.
In the oven I usually use a baking sheet, cover the sheet with parchment paper, add vegetables then cook. Spreading them out makes them all cook more evenly.
do these veggies heat up well in the crock pot?
This recipe is cooked in the slow cooker (or a crock pot). I’m not sure if you are referring to when you can reheat them. We reheat any leftovers in the microwave.
Super delicious. Made them for my family and my husband said this goes beyond restaurant quality- it’s like personal chef quality! This one’s a keeper.

Yah! Thanks Bridgette for letting us know. We are so glad you liked the veggies! Have a terrific week.
I’m going to make this as my Christmas dinner side dish and wondered what size slow cooker you use to make it. I’m going to purchase a new slow cooker, so should I buy a 4 quart or 6 quart size for this recipe?
Go with the 6 quart.
How many people does this recipe feed?
If you scroll down to the recipe card it says it will serve 8 people.
do you think this would work to serve with corned beef, we are grilling the corned beef
I am using onions, green beans, carrots, and sugar snap peas. I am also using Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning instead of Italian. Once we have dinner, will post opinion.
