Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash and dry all the vegetables.
Cut the zucchini into half-moons, the eggplant into bite-sized cubes, and the bell peppers into strips. Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the red onion into wedges.
Peel the garlic cloves and lightly crush them with the flat side of a knife, keeping them whole.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the prepared vegetables and garlic cloves.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with dried oregano, dried basil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Spread the vegetables out on a large baking sheet or roasting pan in a single layer.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm as a side dish or on its own.
