In a large bowl, combine the cut vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with dried oregano, dried thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure they are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through the cooking time.
Remove from the oven and transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving platter.
Sprinkle fresh parsley and drizzle lemon juice over the vegetables before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a main meal for a light and nutritious option.
