Roasted Veggie Tortellini is such an easy and flavor packed dinner! Full of juicy roasted summer veggies and plump cheesy tortellini, the whole family loves this one!
Veggie Tortellini:
This is the best way to use up summer veggies while we still can! I love tortellini in any form, but this meatless main is so savory and flavor packed I can’t get enough. Some of my other faves are French Onion Tortellini and Tortellini Lasagna Soup! You can really use any veggies that you have on hand for this that are good for roasting. Since it’s still summer at this time I like to use zucchini, cherry tomatoes, squash, and red onions. You can also check out our Oven Roasted Vegetables if you want to switch things up a little bit.
What to Serve with Roasted Veggie Tortellini:
This is a great one to have as a light but filling no-meat dinner just as it is if you wish! If you’re looking for meat options I always like this with Baked Chicken Thighs, these simple Air Fryer Chicken Legs, Baked Chicken Drumsticks, or a simple Air Fryer Salmon. If you’re looking for a side of bread I love our Garlic Bread or even some Drop Biscuits that are so easy!
How to Make Veggie Tortellini:
- Start by roasting your veggies: The cherry tomatoes can stay whole. Just slice your zucchini and onions. Then, toss your vegetables with seasonings and oil and bake!
- While the veggies are roasting you can cook your tortellini: Cook for only 4 minutes, it will still be undercooked but that’s ok it will get tossed and roasted with the veggies. Once it cooks for 4 minutes, add the garlic and butter.
- Toss everything together: Add the slightly cooked tortellini to the pan with the veggies and stir gently to mix everything up. Then, pop it back in the oven for about 5-7 more minutes until everything is cooked through.
How to Store this Tortellini for Later:
I don’t recommend freezing this, it doesn’t hold up well. But, you can store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. It’s actually also good cold if you enjoy a cold tortellini salad! To reheat, just microwave gently for a few minutes, or heat on medium low in a small non-stick pan. If it seems dry you can add a little extra olive oil or butter to your own taste.
Recipe Notes and Tips:
- Tortellini: You can use any type you enjoy, but plain cheese tortellini is my favorite for this dish. Sausage tortellini, or chicken tortellini would also be great.
- Veggies: Like I mentioned, you can use any veggies that are good for roasting! Such as, zucchini, squash, tomatoes, thick sliced mushrooms, onions of any type, carrots, brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower.
- Lemon Juice: Don’t skip it unless you must! It adds another layer of flavor and a tang that I think the dish needs, but it is subtle. You can serve more lemon on the side for lemon lovers too.
- Seasonings: I keep it simple and use garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and oregano. You can add anything else you love like Cajun seasoning, lemon pepper, or basil for example.
Enjoy!
