Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the Roma tomatoes in half, the red bell peppers into quarters (seeds removed), and the red onion into thick slices.
Place the tomatoes, bell peppers, onion slices, and garlic cloves on the baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they are softened and slightly charred.
While the vegetables are roasting, peel the cucumber, cut it into chunks, and set aside.
Once the roasted vegetables have cooled slightly, transfer them to a blender or food processor. Add the cucumber, sherry vinegar, and vegetable broth.
Blend the mixture until smooth. For a slightly chunky texture, pulse the blender rather than blending continuously.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if needed.
Refrigerate the gazpacho for at least 2 hours to chill and allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, drizzle each bowl with a touch of olive oil and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with crusty bread if desired.
