Ingredients
  

2 cups broccoli florets

1 cup baby carrots, halved

1 cup bell peppers (mix of red, yellow, and orange), diced

1 cup zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup olive oil

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure the vegetables roast perfectly.

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Stir well to mix the vegetables evenly.

      Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. This will be your zesty dressing for the veggies.

        Combine: Pour the dressing over the mixed vegetables in the large bowl. Toss everything together until all the veggies are well coated with the lemon-garlic mixture.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated vegetables evenly on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to give them some space; overcrowding can lead to steaming instead of roasting.

            Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the veggies are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir once halfway through for even roasting.

              Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.

                Enjoy: Serve hot as a vibrant side dish or toss with quinoa for a delightful main course!
