Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and cut the vegetables: dice the red bell pepper and zucchini into bite-sized pieces, peel and cube the sweet potato, and slice the red onion into thick wedges.
Place the prepared vegetables on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the Caribbean dressing. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, soy sauce, coconut milk, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ground allspice, and minced garlic until smooth.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and stir it into the dressing for added freshness and a burst of flavor.
Once the vegetables are done roasting, transfer them to a large serving platter or bowl.
Drizzle the Caribbean dressing generously over the roasted vegetables, tossing lightly to coat.
Garnish with additional fresh cilantro if desired and serve warm or at room temperature.
