Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (390Β°F).
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly under cold running water.
Cut the red bell pepper into strips, discarding the seeds and stem.
Slice the zucchini into 1 cm thick rounds.
Peel the carrots, then slice them into 1 cm thick rounds.
Peel the red onion, then cut it into wedges.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, and trim the stems off the button mushrooms.
Combine all the prepared vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and toss to coat them evenly.
Add the salt, black pepper, and dried thyme to the bowl, mixing well to ensure even seasoning.
Peel the garlic cloves and crush them slightly with the flat side of a knife. Scatter them over the vegetables.
Spread the vegetables evenly on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are tender and slightly golden, stirring once halfway through for even cooking.
Remove the vegetables from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Serve the roasted vegetables warm, garnished with fresh herbs or a drizzle of balsamic glaze if desired.
