Ingredients
  

1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 medium bell pepper (choose any vibrant color), diced into bite-sized pieces

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 medium red onion, cut into wedges

2 cups broccoli florets, roughly chopped

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Zest of 1 large lemon

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and allow it to come to temperature. This high heat will help the vegetables develop a wonderful roasted flavor.

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, diced bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, wedged red onion, and broccoli florets. Stir gently to mix them evenly.

      Create the Flavorful Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until the ingredients are thoroughly blended and emulsified.

        Coat the Veggies: Drizzle the dressing over the mixed vegetables, tossing gently to ensure each piece is well coated with the zesty mixture. This step enhances both flavor and texture.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the coated vegetables into a single even layer on the sheet, making sure not to overcrowd them. This allows the veggies to roast properly for optimal crispness.

            Roast the Vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the vegetable medley for about 25-30 minutes. Stir halfway through the roasting process to ensure even cooking. Look for the veggies to be tender with a deliciously golden-brown exterior.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove the roasted veggies from the oven and immediately sprinkle them with the freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve warm as a delightful side dish or as a hearty topping over grains like quinoa or rice for a nourishing meal.
