Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C).
Wash and dry all the vegetables. Cut the zucchini into half-moons, the bell peppers into strips, and the red onion into wedges. Leave the cherry tomatoes whole.
In a large bowl, combine the prepared zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle 4 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss everything to coat evenly.
Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Once the vegetables are roasted, transfer them to a large serving bowl. Pour the marinade over the warm vegetables and toss gently to coat.
Crumble the feta cheese over the marinated vegetables.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm, room temperature, or chilled. Enjoy!
