Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss 2 cups broccoli florets, 2 cups zucchini slices, 1 red bell pepper strips, and 1 cup cherry tomatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried rosemary, 1 tsp dried thyme, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until evenly coated.
- Step 2: Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and have slightly browned edges and caramelized spots.
- Step 3: Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, ensuring the herbs are evenly distributed without overpowering the vegetables.
