Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut zucchini into 1/2-inch half-moons, bell pepper into 1-inch strips, and red onion into 1/2-inch wedges.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Add zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes, tossing until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Spread vegetables in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until vegetables are tender and caramelized at the edges.
  4. Step 4: While vegetables roast, whisk together 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar and 1 tsp maple syrup in a small bowl.
  5. Step 5: Remove vegetables from oven and drizzle with balsamic-maple glaze. Toss gently to coat and serve warm.
