Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and trim the cauliflower, breaking it into small florets. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and slice the red onion into thick wedges. Add the red onion slices to the bowl with the cauliflower florets.
Wash and trim the green beans, removing any stems. Add them to the bowl with the other vegetables.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the vegetable mix.
Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are evenly spaced apart so they roast instead of steaming.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing the vegetables halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the vegetables with lemon zest. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own as a light meal.
