Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Peel the carrots and cut them into sticks, about 3 inches long. Slice the zucchini into thick rounds. Chop the red bell peppers into large chunks and the red onion into wedges.
Halve the baby potatoes or quarter them if they are large. Leave the garlic cloves in their skins to roast with the veggies.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrots, zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, potatoes, and garlic cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the vegetables with salt, black pepper, thyme, rosemary, and paprika. Toss again to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Spread the seasoned vegetables onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer to promote even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or over rice, quinoa, or salad for a complete meal. Enjoy!
