Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly. Trim the tough ends off the asparagus, peel the baby carrots if desired, halve the radishes, and cut the baby potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
Place the prepared vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, and sprinkle with rosemary, thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat everything evenly.
Spread the vegetables into a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even roasting.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even browning, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the vegetables from the oven and drizzle with fresh lemon juice for a bright, zesty finish.
If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for added richness and flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own as a light, healthy meal.
