Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 cup sliced carrots, 1 cup sliced bell peppers, and 1 cup sliced zucchini with 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a large bowl until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Spread vegetables in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes, stirring once after 12 minutes, until edges are golden brown and vegetables are tender-crisp.
