Roasted vegetable casserole is a fantastic way to liven up those sometimes boring side vegetables. Adding cheese, White Roux, garlic and topping with a cracker crumb crust will certainly take that boring side dish to a whole new level. No fancy equipment required either! You can use most anything as a roasting pan. Check out this article, 7 ROASTING PAN ALTERNATIVES, and see for yourself!

Sure, you can have buttered carrots or roasted asparagus and sweet potatoes on their own, sometimes you need a heartier side dish. This will fit that requirement. The South is known for its love of casseroles. Here at the Buttered Home, we are no exception. Finding creative ways to use fresh produce, the casserole was born.

Roasted Vegetable Casserole, A New Favorite


Some of the best recipes I have ever made have been born out of necessity. During the summer and winter garden months, we often take what bounty we have and prep and freeze the vegetables so we can enjoy them all year long. Cooking things like this casserole is also a delicious way to share that bounty with your family and friends.

Tips and Tricks


Can I do this without roasting the vegetables?

Yes! You can always use those steam bag vegetables that have already been cooked or you can simply boil fresh veggies for this casserole.

Can I used can soup in place of the roux?

Yes. We like to use cream of celery or cream of mushroom here to accentuate the vegetable flavor. Get creative!

Does this freeze well?

Yes. You can freeze either before or after cooking. Just make sure to thaw thoroughly before cooking or reheating after frozen so no extra liquid will be in the casserole.


As always, we would love it if you shared this recipe with your family and friends. Over to the side on this post and all of the others are handy dandy share buttons. We would sure be grateful if you shared the love!

    Just eat a BIG juicy steak!! Plants provide oxygen for you and me. Cows make methane gas, and are murdering our ozone!! Eat the one we DONT need!! Not vital plants that keep us living after you cut down all the trees to make paper to wipe the tears cause you think your “feelings” matter!

      since this has nothing to do with your rant take a hike. PS The trees used for paper are fast growing trees grown specifically for paper.

    Okay, I have to address this on 2 points. The first? It is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! That being said, if you think this is to serve 12 folks? Um... my family are big veggie eaters - 2 cups of veggies would probs serve us 4, with maybe enough left over for my husband to take to work the next day. That COMPLETELY throws off the nutritional info, and, as delicious as it was (AND IT WAS!!! OMG!!!), this is NOT a lower-cal recipe!!!


    My 2nd point? I guess I dunno... I oven roast veggies at 425 for 20-30 minutes (or I microwave-"steam" them). If I want to dress up with a cream sauce of a cheese sauce, I typically DO make a roux. But, for example, I'll finish with water and chicken bouillon equivalent to make "broth," and then top with maybe a tablespoon of cheese, on each person's plate. And the sauce is served on the side so folks can decide how much/little they want, or even if they want, at all. Same for cheese. Oven-roasted veggies are so doggone delish in their own right, I'm trying to get my kids to appreciate them, as such.


    AND... before you take that as criticism, YOUR RECIPE IS FREAKING AMAZEBALLS!!! It's just that calorie-wise, I couldn't put in a weekly rotation - more like an indulgent rotation! BUT, I totally see value in changing up the flavor profile and creating a lower-calorie cheesy sauce that could be added, maybe with a teaspoon of toasted bread crumbs, to give it that uber-indulgent feel!!! Thank you so much for posting, and I absolutely know a roasted veggie-gratin dish with your incredible Bechamel sauce will be on the next holiday menu!!! ~Chrissie
