Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 1 large Red Bell Pepper
- 1 large Yellow Bell Pepper
- 1 medium Red Onion
- 3 medium Carrots
- 1.5 cups Cherry Tomatoes
- 3 cloves Garlic Cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
- 1.5 teaspoons Dried Italian Herbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Wash and dry all vegetables. Cut the zucchini into half-moons, slice the bell peppers into strips, cut the red onion into wedges, and chop the carrots into thin sticks. Keep the cherry tomatoes whole.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, carrots, and cherry tomatoes. Add the minced garlic.
Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the vegetables. Sprinkle the dried Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Spread the vegetables out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20–25 minutes. Stir the vegetables halfway through cooking to promote even browning.
Once the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, remove them from the oven.
Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish, or pair it with quinoa, rice, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
