Vegetables en papillote baked in the oven are a delightful side dish you can make with seasonal vegetables, resulting in a different and delicious dish each time.
This time, I used pumpkin, cauliflower, broccoli, and more, but you can also use beets and zucchinis if available. I found this method to make my nieces eat vegetables because instead of making one large packet, I make many small ones so everyone has their own to open at the table.
You will find they will be greatly appreciated at your home as well.
Let’s discover how to prepare them right after the photo as always!

Ingredients for vegetables en papillote
- 1 cauliflower
- 1 broccoli
- 2 carrots
- 1 potato (large)
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 onion
- 2 pinches salt
- 2 pinches black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Preparation
First, clean all the vegetables and peel the carrots and potatoes.
Cut the potato into chunks and cook it for 5 minutes in unsalted boiling water.
Peel the pumpkin and remove the seeds and inner strings. Separate the cauliflower and broccoli florets.
Cut the other vegetables into chunks of roughly the same size and slice the carrots into rounds.
Place all the vegetables in a large bowl, season them with herbs, salt, pepper, and extra virgin olive oil.
Mix well to flavor them, and if you have 30 minutes, let them rest.
Preheat the oven to 430°F, static mode and get a large piece of parchment paper.
Pour all the vegetables onto the parchment paper, then wrap them well. Tie the ends with kitchen string and place the packet on a baking tray.
Bake the vegetables on the middle rack of the oven for at least 25 minutes.
Carefully open the packet and check the doneness. If they need more time, close it again and bake for another 5 or 6 minutes.
Once cooked, let the vegetable packet rest outside the oven before serving them still hot and steamy.
How to store the vegetable packet
You can store the vegetable packet in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
