Ingredients

• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 2 medium Carrots
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 small Red onion
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and prepare all vegetables: Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, slice the carrots into thin rounds, chop the zucchini into half-moons, dice the red bell pepper into 1-inch pieces, and slice the red onion into thin wedges.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli, carrots, zucchini, red bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.

Step 4

Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

Step 5

Sprinkle the garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables. Toss again to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan for even roasting.

Step 7

Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 8

Remove the vegetables from the oven and drizzle with fresh lemon juice for brightness and flavor.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy as a light main course. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
