These 42 salads with roasted vegetables are hearty, cozy, packed with nutrients, and are sure to make you crave salads any time of year!
There’s something about roasted veggies that just takes a salad to the next level. The way they get caramelized and a little sweet around the edges makes them so much more flavorful, and when you toss them into a salad, it feels like a hearty, satisfying meal rather than just a pile of greens.
Whether it’s roasted sweet potatoes, beets, or cauliflower, they add warmth and texture that make salads anything but boring.
If you currently relate salads to diet food, this is the place you need to be. Salads are just a bunch of fresh ingredients tossed into a bowl, slathered in some kind of delicious dressing—nothing boring about it (if you do it right).
Adding roasted vegetables to your salad adds the most incredibly hearty texture and rich flavors that you just can’t get with raw veggies. If you’ve tried my roasted carrots and asparagus with balsamic glaze or roasted carrots and cauliflower, you know exactly what I mean.
Plus, it’s a great way to transition yourself from fresh summer produce to the more cozy flavors of fall and winter.
I’ve rounded up some of the best salads with roasted vegetables, from leafy green salads to sweet potato-centered dishes to roasted veggie salads without any greens at all (yes, we can still call those salads!).

Four Reasons To LOVE Roasted Vegetables on Salads
- Roasting brings out the natural sweetness in vegetables, giving them a caramelized, slightly smoky taste that adds richness and depth to otherwise light dishes.
- Roasted veggies add a cozy, comforting vibe to salad, making it feel like a hearty, complete meal—perfect for cooler fall or winter days or when you want something more filling and satisfying.
- Use them for meal prepping by roasting a big batch of vegetables at once and using them throughout the week.
- Roasting veggies makes it easy to increase your vegetable intake and load up on nutrients. You’ll absorb more nutrients like beta carotene from carrots or lycopene from red peppers by roasting them.
