• 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish.

Step 2

Wash and trim the ends of the zucchini and yellow squash, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Step 3

Remove the seeds and core from the red bell pepper, and cut it into thin strips.

Step 4

Peel the red onion and slice it into thin wedges.

Step 5

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and add the minced garlic, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 8

Arrange the vegetables evenly in the prepared baking dish, spreading them out in a single layer for even cooking.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the vegetables during the last 5 minutes of baking for a golden, cheesy topping.

Remove the dish from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Garlic Herb Vegetable Bake hot as a side or main dish.
