Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut 2 cups broccoli florets and 2 peeled, diced carrots into even 1/2-inch pieces. Slice 1 red bell pepper and 1 zucchini into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
  2. Step 2: Place all vegetables in a large bowl, then add 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Spread vegetables in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring pieces aren't overlapping.
  4. Step 4: Roast for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until vegetables are tender-crisp and have golden-brown edges.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let cool for 3 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
