Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scrub the Jerusalem artichokes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized chunks. No need to peel them unless you prefer to.
Peel the carrots and slice them into thin rounds. Slice the zucchini into half-moons or bite-sized pieces. Cut the red bell pepper into strips and the red onion into wedges.
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Jerusalem artichokes, carrots, zucchini, red bell pepper, red onion, and minced garlic.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables. Add the rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the veggies are evenly coated.
Transfer the vegetable mixture to a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spreading them out in an even layer to ensure proper roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized on the edges.
Once done, remove the tray from the oven and immediately drizzle the lemon juice over the roasted vegetables for a burst of brightness.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a wholesome vegan main. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs before serving.
