Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, the red bell pepper into thin strips, the zucchini into rounds, and the red onion into wedges.
Place the vegetables on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the vegetables in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove and let cool slightly.
While the vegetables roast, cut the baguette in half lengthwise and lightly toast it in the oven or a toaster oven for about 3 minutes.
In a medium bowl, cut and scoop out the flesh of the avocados. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and lemon juice. Mash with a fork until creamy but slightly chunky.
Spread the smashed avocado evenly on the bottom half of the baguette.
Layer the roasted vegetables over the avocado, followed by a handful of mixed greens. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Place the top half of the baguette back on, then slice the baguette into 4 equal portions for serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Rustic Vegetable Baguette with Smashed Avocado!
