Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the zucchini and bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds. Chop the broccoli into small florets. Peel and roughly chop the red onion into larger chunks.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, bell pepper, carrots, broccoli, red onion, and minced garlic.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables. Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs evenly over the mixture.
Toss everything together using a pair of tongs or your hands until all the vegetables are evenly coated with the oil and herbs.
Spread the vegetables evenly on a large baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned, stirring halfway through cooking.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the lemon juice over the hot vegetables, tossing lightly to combine.
Serve warm as a delicious low-fat side dish or as a main course accompaniment.
