The backstory.

I’ve always been a fan of roasted vegetables—simple, satisfying, and a staple on my dinner table. But after years of tossing them with just olive oil, salt, and pepper, I found myself in a serious flavor rut. I wanted something just as easy but way more exciting. That’s what inspired me to create this roasted vegetable seasoning—a quick, flavorful blend that brings out the best in any veggie and makes healthy eating feel fresh again.

It's a must-make.

This easy roasted homemade vegetable seasoning recipe is an absolute staple—because it makes healthy eating taste amazing with zero fuss.

  • Super simple – no fancy tools or steps required. With just a handful of basic pantry staples and two minutes of your time, you’ll have a versatile seasoning blend ready to go for quick, flavorful meals any day of the week.
  • Packed with flavor–it’s balanced, bold, and enhances the natural sweetness of roasted veggies beautifully.
  • Healthier choice – making your own roasted vegetable seasoning means you get all the flavor with none of the junk—and you can control the salt content, too.

Because salt and pepper can only take your veggies so far.

Let’s talk texture and flavor.

The flavor hits all the savory notes—garlic, onion, and smoked paprika are the stars here, with a warm herbal background from oregano and basil. A touch of salt brings everything together, while the black pepper adds a mellow heat. When tossed with extra virgin olive oil and roasted, vegetables come out caramelized, crisped on the edges, and deeply flavorful. It’s that magic combo of smoky, herby, and slightly sweet that makes roasted veggies irresistible.

What you'll need.

Here's what you're going to need to make this roasted vegetable seasoning:

  • Garlic powder: deep savory base flavor.
  • Onion powder: brings that classic roasted sweetness.
  • Smoked paprika: adds color and a hint of smokiness.
  • Salt
  • Ground black pepper: freshly cracked black pepper is always my favorite in seasoning blends; it adds depth and delicious flavor.
  • Dried oregano: earthy and bold.
  • Dried basil: brightens up the blend.

If you're looking for even more easy and flavorful ways to season your vegetables, be sure to try my taco seasoning mix, chipotle seasoning, and fajita seasoning recipes. They're all quick to make with pantry staples and perfect for everything from roasted veggies to sheet pan dinners and grilled favorites.

Customize it your way.

This roasted veggie seasoning is super flexible—so feel free to tweak the spices or add your own twist to make it your own seasoning:

  • Use dried thyme instead of basil for more earthiness.
  • Add a pinch of cumin for a warm, spiced twist.
  • If you don't have smoked paprika I highly recommend it; otherwise, use regular paprika or sweet paprika.
  • Add red pepper flakes for a kick of heat.
  • Add nutritional yeast to give it a savory, cheesy boost of flavor and vitamins.
  • Use fresh chopped herbs after roasting vegetables for a pop of fresh flavor,

Flexible dietary swaps.

Here are some healthy alternatives for this roasted vegetable seasoning that can make it fit your lifestyle:

  • Salt-Free: omit the salt, or use a salt substitute.
  • Low-Sodium: use half the amount of salt in the recipe or opt for salt-free.

  • Roasting vegetables? Keep your oven hot and your parchment paper handy—it helps with cleanup and prevents sticking.
  • Use freshly ground black pepper for the boldest flavor.

Kori's Tips

For more helpful hints, substitution ideas, cooking tips, and other delicious recipes check out my post above.
  • VARIATIONS: Swap dried thyme or oregano for the Italian seasoning if that’s what you have. If you're avoiding salt, skip it and adjust after roasting. Smoked paprika adds depth, but regular paprika or a pinch of cumin works too. Feel free to tweak the spice levels to your taste—this blend is made to flex.
  • TIPS: If possible, use freshly ground spices for the most vibrant flavor. Toss your vegetables with a little olive oil before adding the seasoning to help them stick and roast evenly. Spread veggies in a single layer on the baking sheet—overcrowding leads to steaming, not roasting!
  • SERVING SUGGESTIONS: This roasted vegetable seasoning is perfect for everything from crispy Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes to cauliflower, carrots, and zucchini. Try it on sheet pan meals, stirred into soups, sprinkled over grain bowls, or even as a quick boost for scrambled eggs or roasted chickpeas.

Hey there, I'm Kori.

I’m a culinary school trained chef specializing in holistic nutrition and wellness. I’ve always been a major foodie, and as I’ve aged, the full impact of my love of food—and not-necessarily-healthy eating habits—caught up to me. In an effort to make positive changes in my life (and hopefully yours, too), I created this website where I could share great-tasting, craveable, healthy recipes.
