Cajun-seasoned roasted vegetables are a nice change-up from the classic dish and makes for a delightful healthy side dish.
This is without a doubt the easiest roasted vegetable recipe you will ever lay eyes on.
The Cajun seasoning is your key to success. It puts flavor all up in your veggies so effortlessly. You can use virtually any vegetables you like with this recipe.
Cajun Vegetables Ingredients:
At a baseline, all we need is a variety of fresh vegetables, Cajun seasoning, and some form of oil (I use avocado oil).
I like using cauliflower, a variety of potatoes, bell pepper, and onion, but you can choose any of your favorite vegetables.
Zucchini, carrots, bok choy, and broccoli are great options too!
How to Make Cajun Roasted Vegetables:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add all chopped vegetables to a casserole dish.
- Pour the olive oil and vegetable over the veggies and then sprinkle them with the Cajun seasoning and salt.
- Either use your hands to mix everything together (my preferred method) or use a large spoon to ensure veggies get coated with oil and seasoning.
- Roast the vegetables for 45 to 55 minutes, stirring 2 or 3 times to ensure even cooking.
- The vegetables are done when they are cooked all the way through (sample a piece of sweet potato to make sure it’s soft) and have some golden brown color to them.
- Serve with your favorite hunk of meat or main dish, and enjoy!
Queue up some Credence Clearwater Revival and get to chopping!

So… my husband is from an area near ‘da bayou in Louisiana, and while he doesn’t speak like you would expect him to, he loves his Cajun seasoning and basically anything to have a nice little kick to it.
We totally indulged over Easter weekend, and I think this mix would be perfect for continuing to set us right again. And I know W will love it because of the spices.
Thanks for sharing! … And I love your Cajun daydream. 😀
I love cajun seasoning, so spicy and full of flavour 🙂
Are there any mosquitoes on this dream river…just wondering? Roasted veggies are my absolute fave, I love, love, love this dish!
In my fantasy land, the only insect that exists is the butterfly 😉
What amazing photos! Capturing steam is not always easy!! 🙂 The flavors in this sounds delicious!
Huge, HUGE fan of CCR! This Cajun dish looks fantastic. Do you think if I eat it, I will turn into a Southerner? #fingerscrossed
Yaaay!! CCR raise da roof! Every time I make anything with cajun seasoning, I get my hill billy knee slapping going so I’m gonna go ahead and say yes…the vegetables will make make you a southerner 😉
Your recipes are always warm and inviting! And the pictures are gorgeous…they make me hungry:-) Wish you were my neighbour!
You and me both, sister! Then we could borrow cups of sugar from each other and chat over hot tea!
Oh, YUM! I love roasting veggies! Do you have a favorite cajun spice blend, or better yet, your own recipe for one?
The one I used for this recipe is O Organics (Safeway’s organic brand). I think it’s a great blend with just the right amount of spice! I have yet to make my own Cajun seasoning because I’ve been so satisfied with the one I bought at the store. 🙂 Hope you try the recipe!
Roasted vegetables are always satisfying and I love your roasted veggies blend and I love CCR too!!! Oh yes I’m so ‘food and music’ person. Can’t wait to tune to CCR station and start chopping 😉
So easy and looks so yummy! I love that you tossed all these tasty veggies with a little Cajun seasoning for a simple, warm side dish!
this sounds fabulous! and thanks for the shout out lady!
You got it, sister! You’re the veggie queen in my book! 🙂
Have you watched Duck Dynasty yet??! omg, it’s my new fav show, they are hilarious! Mmm roasted veggies sound good and healthy to me 🙂
I’ve seen little cliplets of it and what little I saw had me in stitches! We don’t have cable at my place, so I’ll see if I can Hulu some episodes…woop woop!!
I am a CCR freak. FREEEEAK, I tell you. Know every word to every song. It’s a Southern thang, I guess. anyway, I’ve been gettin all Cajun in my kitchen lately, too! Love love love 🙂
How funny, I was even thinking about you while writing my post even though I didn’t know your love for CCR. We must be connected through the air waves 😉 I’ve been lusting over your gumbo over the last few days! 🙂
I really need to coax some Easter toxins out of my body — I ate almost literally everything in sight on Sunday. I’m extra excited for this because I had a super fanstic cajun veggie plate when I went out of town the other week, and I’ve been craving it super hardcore ever since.
