Ingredients:
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1 zucchini, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 1 red onion, cut into chunks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4–5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: grated Parmesan cheese or fresh lemon juice
Instructions:
Start by preheating your oven to 200°C (400°F). Prepare a large baking tray by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with oil. Wash and chop all the vegetables into roughly equal-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, add all the vegetables. Drizzle olive oil over them, then add minced garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika (if using), salt, and black pepper. Toss everything thoroughly so each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking tray. Make sure not to overcrowd the tray, as this will cause the vegetables to steam instead of roast. If needed, use two trays.
Place the tray in the oven and roast for 25–30 minutes. Halfway through cooking, take the tray out and gently stir the vegetables to ensure they cook evenly and develop a nice golden-brown color. The vegetables are done when they are tender on the inside and slightly crispy on the edges.
Once roasted, remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. For extra flavor, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top or squeeze a bit of lemon juice for a refreshing touch.
Serve warm and enjoy this colorful, aromatic dish that’s packed with nutrients and bursting with garlic herb goodness.
