Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the zucchini and eggplant into 1-inch cubes.
Slice the red and yellow bell peppers into thin strips, discarding the seeds and stem.
Peel and slice the red onion into thin wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the vegetables in the bowl.
Sprinkle the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables.
Toss the vegetables well to ensure they are evenly coated with oil, vinegar, and seasonings.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the vegetables are browned and tender.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the vegetables cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the roasted vegetables warm as a side dish or over a bed of cooked quinoa or couscous for a light, low-fat main course.
