Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash all vegetables thoroughly.
Cut the red bell pepper into medium-sized chunks, roughly 1-inch pieces.
Slice the zucchinis into approximately 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Peel and slice the carrots diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
Cut the red onion in half, peel, and slice each half into 1/2-inch wedges.
If not prepped, separate the broccoli into florets.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared vegetables.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, add minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure all vegetables are well-coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on a large baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer to promote even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time, until the vegetables are tender and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the roasted vegetables before serving.
Serve warm as a delicious and nutritious side dish.
