If you’ve been cooking fajita veggies on the stove, you’re doing it all wrong! Baking your veggies is the easiest way to get them perfectly tender with that delicious char in just 10 minutes, with very little prep work on your part! So simple, so delicious, and so versatile, these fajita veggies will quickly become your family’s favorite!

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 yellow pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 red pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 green pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1-2 large Portobello mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Kosher salt
  • fresh cracked pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place peppers, mushroom and onions in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  2. Drizzle with olive oil.
  3. Sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, and a couple large pinches of salt and pepper.
  4. Toss to coat the veggies evenly.
  5. Bake for 6-8 minutes. Then broil on high for 3-5 minutes to get a nice dark char on the edges of the veggies.
  6. Serve on flour tortillas with your favorite fajita toppings!

Equipment

Notes

  • Slice peppers into thin strips as uniformly as possible. This will ensure that they all cook evenly.
  • Slice the mushrooms slightly thicker than the peppers. They will reduce in size quite a bit as they cook so it’s important to cut them thick enough that they don’t disappear when they’re cooked.
  • Line your pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for super easy clean up!
  • Spread the veggies out evenly in one layer on the pan. This will also ensure that they cook evenly and that they get evenly charred while you broil them.
  • Everyone’s oven cooks differently, so keep a close eye on the veggies when you’re broiling them. My oven takes about 4-5 minutes to get a char on the veggies, but yours may take more or less time. You want to first roast the veggies to get them tender, and then the broil to get them charred and finish cooking them!
