Homemade Greek Seasoning & Mediterranean Roasted Vegetables, together, will rock your side dish world! A spice blend loaded with greek flavours that can be used in multiple ways, but as a marinade on roasted vegetables is my favourite! I highly recommend this easy side dish recipe. Marinating overnight packs maximum flavour, then roast or grill your vegetables until slightly charred for the best vegetable dish out there.

I am a huge fan of greek food. I want it all, souvlaki, pita bread, lemon potatoes, dolmades, and feta cheese. Oh and spanakopita, I could live on that flaky cheese pie, alone. Don’t even get me started on the desserts. Let’s just say, it’s one of the most flavour-packed types of cuisine out there. Years ago, I bought a greek dressing mix from Epicure and I used it on everything. Then I ran out, had to come up with my own Homemade Greek Seasoning and I’d put my seasoning up against Epicure’s any day!

Homemade Greek Seasoning is an authentic Greek Spice blend.

It hits all the right notes. When I first started trying to come up with my own version, I enlisted the help of my cousin’s wife, as in, I ran my list of questionable ingredients by her. Her family is from Cyprus and the wedding was all things Greek. It was amazing. So much delicious food, and the dancing. I wish they could do it again every year! It is the one party I wouldn’t miss.

So, with her approval of cinnamon and nutmeg, I started experimenting. It didn’t take me long to settle on this version and it is good, like let me put this stuff on everything! Especially Mediterranean Roasted Vegetables.

How to use Homemade Greek Seasoning

rub on chicken before baking or grilling
coat potatoes with a bit of oil and seasoning before roasting
make a quick vinaigrette with olive oil, red wine vinegar and the seasoning for salads
mix it with a bit of greek yogurt and use as a marinade for meat
mix it with sour cream for a quick dip
brush pita bread triangles with oil and sprinkle with seasoning before baking crisp and serving with tzatziki sauce
Marinate veggies for the best Mediterranean Roasted Vegetables (my favourite)

I make Mediterranean Roasted Vegetables about once every two weeks. It’s my favourite way to get extra veggies in and it’s so, so good! A mixture of peppers, onions, tomatoes, zucchini, and mushrooms marinate in Homemade Greek Seasoning, obviously! There are a few other ingredients in there, but the spices are the real winner! I like to let the veggies marinate overnight to bring out the maximum flavour.

How to make Mediterranean Roasted Vegetables

This is another super easy recipe. Mix together a bit of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh lemon juice and a couple of teaspoons of the Homemade Greek Seasoning. In a zip-top bag, add the marinade and vegetables, give it a few flips to really coat everything and marinate overnight. Roast in an oven until slightly charred. This is how I like my roasted vegetables, but if you prefer them not so roasted, just adjust the time in the oven. Be careful when you open the oven door, there is always a ton of steam. Now, if you really want to kick this up a notch, skewer the vegetables and grill them on your barbecue. Delish!

I’m positive this will become a favourite way to incorporate extra vegetables into your diet and we all know that’s important. But besides being good for you, these veggies are so flavourful. They are a wonderful side to any meal or addition to a sandwich for a hearty vegetarian meal. Either way, these roasted vegetables will be the perfect addition to your weekly menu!
