More than likely this recipe will leave you with a bit of extra herby garlic butter which can be used on any vegetable and is especially delicious paired with potatoes.

This simple blend of roasted vegetables would be delicious paired with entrees such as Garlic Butter Instant Pot Short Ribs, Crispy Pan Fried Chicken Tenders, and Poached Salmon with Lemon Butter Garlic Sauce.

How To Make Normandy Blend Vegetables

Ingredients

Ingredients needed to make garlic herb normandy blend vegetables on a marble background with text overlay.

  • Vegetables: broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, summer squash and zucchini make up what is known as “Normandy blend” vegetables.
  • Butter: room temperature.
  • Garlic: fresh will give you the best flavor. Fresh garlic has more bite to it that cooked. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can make Roasted Garlic or use garlic powder.
  • Fresh Herbs: I use parsley and chives, but you can use a single herb like parsley, or a combination of whichever herbs you prefer.
  • Olive oil, salt and pepper: needed for roasting.

    The entire recipe and instructions can also be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post. You can also print the recipe from the card, if needed.

Prep!

Set the butter out ahead of time to come to room temperature. If you forget to set the butter out, you can microwave it for 10 seconds to quickly soften it.

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Cut the broccoli and cauliflower into bite size florets. Cut the carrots into smaller, 1/2-inch pieces. Slice the summer squash and zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Larger squash can be cut into half circles, if preferred.

Chef’s Tip: cutting the vegetables to approximately the same size allows for them to cook at the same rate.

Mince the herbs and garlic.

Create!

Raw vegetables spread out onto a sheet pan.

Toss broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, squash and zucchini with olive oil. Spread onto a sheet pan and season with salt and pepper.

Roasted vegetables spread out onto a sheet pan.

Roast 15-20 minutes, tossing once halfway, or until fork tender.
