Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash the bell peppers and zucchini thoroughly. Cut the bell peppers into medium-sized strips, discarding the seeds and stem. Slice the zucchini into thick coins, about 1/2 inch thick.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and minced garlic.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the olive oil mixture over the vegetables in the large mixing bowl. Toss thoroughly to coat the vegetables evenly.
Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bell peppers are tender and slightly caramelized, and the zucchini is golden brown.
Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy warm as a side dish or over rice or quinoa for a light main course.
