Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Leave the skin on for texture and nutrients, if desired.
Slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into thin strips. Cut the red onion into wedges.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Place the potatoes, bell peppers, and red onion into a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the olive oil mixture over the vegetables in the mixing bowl. Toss everything together to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned vegetables out in an even layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting. The potatoes should be golden and crispy on the outside and tender inside, while the peppers will be lightly caramelized.
If desired, sprinkle the finished bake with grated Parmesan cheese while itβs still warm, allowing it to melt slightly.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy it as a main course with a salad or crusty bread.
