Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrots, zucchini, red bell pepper, and green beans.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and add the chopped thyme, rosemary, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the vegetables with oil and seasonings.
Place one sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface. Scoop one-fourth of the vegetable mixture into the center of the parchment.
Fold the parchment paper over the vegetables to create a bundle. Fold and tuck in the edges tightly to seal the packet, leaving some room inside for the steam to circulate. Alternatively, use twine to secure the bundle if desired.
Repeat with the remaining sheets of parchment paper and vegetables to create four bundles.
Place the bundles on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove the bundles from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Carefully open the parchment paper (watch out for steam) and transfer the herbed vegetables to plates or serve directly in the parchment for a rustic presentation.
