Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and prepare the vegetables: slice the zucchini into half-moons, dice the red bell pepper into chunks, peel and cube the sweet potato, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
In a large bowl, toss the prepared vegetables with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano until evenly coated.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables are roasting, fill a medium-sized saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the white vinegar to the water.
Crack one egg into a small bowl or ramekin. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water using a spoon, then carefully slide the egg into the center of the whirlpool. Let it poach for about 3-4 minutes, or until the white is set but the yolk is still runny. Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg and set it on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
Once the vegetables are done roasting, divide them evenly between two plates. Top each plate with two poached eggs.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
