Savory Roasted Vegetable Medley
Chopped potatoes, carrots, and onions are roasted in a parsley/pepper seasoning to produce a delightful side dish to any main course meal.
There is a story behind this recipe. It is actually the second part to a meatloaf recipe that I had been making for years. You shape the meatloaf into a rectangle, place it in a baking dish, and then surround it with this lovely vegetable concoction.
It wasn’t until recently when Husband Man told me that after all of these years (we’ve been married for 14 years so yeah…do the math on that one), he disliked the meatloaf part but loved the vegetable part. He even went as far as to say that the only reason why he ate that recipe was because of the vegetable part. Pshhh…men (I’m rolling my eyes as I type this).
After some sulking on my end about this new found news…and a few snide remarks under my breath (again, all on my end), I started thinking about the vegetable part of this recipe. The truth of the matter was, was that he was completely right. If you took the meatloaf part out of this recipe, the vegetable part could literally stand on it’s own. It could even pass as a side dish. A delicious side dish in fact.
I added a few new ingredients into the mix and presto..this recipe was born! Our daughter likes to call it potato hash and eats hers with ketchup. You can even eat it for breakfast if the mood hits you. Creamy scrambled eggs will go very well with this indeed. Perfection!
Breakfast, lunch, or as a side for dinner…you can’t lose with this recipe! Husband Man really does know a thing or two about food 😉

Hi Libby, been making this for sometime but decided one day just to add some chopped cabbage to it and it was delicious. Adds another whole new dimension. Just thought I would share.
Thank you for sharing 😉 I may have to try that next time 😉 Since it's cabbage, do you still roast it in the oven or do you cook it on the stove?
I just mixed the raw cabbage in it and baked in oven with the rest of the dish. I got the idea because I do raw cabbage with onions, seasonings and butter in oven a lot. I love cabbage and its just an easy way to fix it. Sometimes I even add smoked sausage in the cabbage and onions.
Ok. Thanks 🙂 Husband Man would enjoy the smoked cabbage and sausage 😉 Thank you so much for the idea! It sounds wonderful 😉
These vegetables sound absolutely BRILLIANT! Nothing like some roasted veggies to make a meal awesome. Pinning these because we will definitely be making them!
Thank you so much for the Pin Erin 🙂
My mom used to make this, when I was growing up. I hadn't thought of it in like forever. Thanks for the memories. I think I will make some, tonight, with my chicken. Weezy
You are welcome 😉 I am glad it was able to bring back some memories (hopefully good ones). 🙂

This is our favorite side dish to make with any of our main meals! So yummy! Our kids like to eat it with ketchup…lol.
Hi Libby,,,you’re vegetables are a variation of a French Mirepoix with carrots, onions and celery. I will try this with the addition of baby red potatoes. Should be DELISH!!!!
What a great addition! I’m sure it will delicious 🙂
Oh and add a splash of Balsamic vinegar to really make those veggies pop with flavor!
Yes…we actually have done this before! VERY good indeed 😉
