Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut 1 large broccoli head into 1-inch florets, slice 1 red bell pepper into 1/2-inch strips, and cut 1 medium red onion into 1/2-inch wedges.
- Step 2: Place all vegetables in a large bowl, add 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Step 3: Spread vegetables in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they aren't crowded. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until edges are caramelized and vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Step 4: Check for doneness by piercing a broccoli floret with a fork—it should offer slight resistance but not be crunchy. The cherry tomatoes should be slightly collapsed and juicy.
