Vegetables
- 1 cup bell peppers, chopped
- 1 cup zucchini, chopped
- 1 cup carrots, chopped
- 1 cup red onion, chopped
Garlic and Seasonings
- 4–5 fresh garlic cloves, minced or sliced
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Optional herbs (rosemary, thyme, or oregano), 1 teaspoon each, chopped
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) so it’s hot and ready to perfectly roast your vegetables to golden, tender perfection.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Wash, peel if needed, and cut your vegetables into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. Mince or slice fresh garlic finely to release maximum aroma.
- Toss with Olive Oil and Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine your veggies and garlic with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any optional herbs. Toss thoroughly so every piece is well coated.
- Spread and Roast: Transfer the mixture onto a baking sheet in a single layer, giving each vegetable enough space to roast rather than steam up. Roast for about 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Check for Doneness and Serve: The vegetables should be tender on the inside with caramelized edges. Adjust seasoning as needed, then serve warm and enjoy the medley’s comforting flavors.
Notes
- Chop vegetables into similar sizes to ensure even roasting and avoid undercooked pieces.
- Spread veggies evenly on the baking sheet to allow proper air circulation and crispiness.
- Use fresh garlic for a brighter and more complex flavor compared to powdered versions.
- Toss vegetables halfway through roasting to promote even browning and prevent burning.
- Roast at high heat to create caramelization and delicious roasted texture without drying out the veggies.
