Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash all vegetables thoroughly under running water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the red bell pepper into large chunks, discarding the seeds and stem.
Slice the zucchini into half-moons approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Peel the carrots, then cut them into similarly sized sticks or rounds.
Peel the red onion and cut it into thick wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared bell pepper, zucchini, carrot, onion, cherry tomatoes, and broccoli florets.
Drizzle the vegetables with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and garlic powder over the vegetables.
Toss everything well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve the roasted vegetables as a side dish or on top of your favorite salad for a healthy meal.
