Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly. Cut the zucchini and yellow squash into ½-inch thick rounds. Slice the red and yellow bell peppers into strips. Cut the red onion into thick wedges. Leave the baby carrots whole or halve them lengthwise if they’re thick. Keep the cherry tomatoes whole.
Place all the prepared vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with garlic powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. 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. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the vegetables for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the vegetables from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite main course or enjoy on its own for a healthy, satisfying meal.
