📝 Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups carrot slices
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow squash or zucchini, sliced
- 1 small red onion, cut into chunks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon zest or a squeeze of lemon juice after baking
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ In a large bowl, combine all veggies, then drizzle with olive oil and add garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
3️⃣ Spread the veggies in a single layer on the baking sheet — don’t overcrowd or they’ll steam instead of roast!
4️⃣ Roast for 20–25 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until edges are golden and crisp.
5️⃣ Optional: Finish with a sprinkle of lemon zest or squeeze of fresh lemon juice for brightness.
💡 Tips & Twists
- Use whatever veggies you have on hand — Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, cauliflower, etc.
- Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese in the last 5 minutes for a savory kick.
- Want more heat? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
