How to Make Fajita Vegetables: 

Step 1: Prepare the Seasoning

In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 2: Toss the Vegetables

Place the sliced bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, and broccoli florets into a large mixing bowl. Pour the spiced olive oil mixture over the vegetables and toss until evenly coated.

Step 3: Roast the Vegetables

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the seasoned vegetables out in an even layer. Roast in a preheated oven at 450°F for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and slightly browned.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Serve the Fajita Vegetables warm with your choice of rice, tortillas, sandwiches, or as a topping for burgers or hummus.

Tips for Perfect Fajita Vegetables :

1. Cut Evenly: Slice the vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
2. Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Spread the veggies in a single layer on the baking sheet to allow for even roasting and caramelization.
3. Check for Doneness: Roasting times may vary based on your oven and the size of the vegetable pieces. Check for softness and browning around the edges.
4. Adjust the Spice: Add a pinch of cayenne for extra heat or reduce the chili powder for a milder flavor.

Fajita Vegetable Variations :

• Add Zucchini or Squash: Substitute or add zucchini or yellow squash for a summery twist.
• Go Spicy: Add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the seasoning for extra heat.
• Try Sweet Potatoes: Roast cubed sweet potatoes with the veggies for a hint of sweetness.

Serving Suggestions :

• On Rice: Serve over steamed rice or your favorite grain like quinoa or farro.
• In Tortillas: Add to tortillas with tofu, chicken, or steak for flavorful fajitas.
• As a Side Dish: Pair with grilled proteins like chicken or fish.
• On Sandwiches: Add the roasted veggies to a sandwich or burger for extra flavor.
• With Hummus: Use the veggies to add a smoky flavor to hummus bowls.

How to Store and Reheat Leftovers :

• Storing: Place leftover Fajita Vegetables in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. For the best texture, try to eat them within 3 days.
• Reheating: Reheat the vegetables in a 350°F oven for about 5 minutes, in a skillet on the stovetop, or in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.

Fajita Vegetables FAQs :

Q: Can I use frozen vegetables?
A: Yes, but frozen vegetables may release more water and not caramelize as well. Thaw and pat them dry before roasting.

Q: Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! You can prep the vegetables and seasoning in advance. Toss them together and store in the fridge, then roast when ready.

Q: What’s the best way to serve these veggies for meal prep?
