Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables:
    Wash and dry all vegetables. Slice, dice, and halve them as indicated in the ingredients list. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season the Veggies:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine all the vegetables. Drizzle olive oil over them and toss until evenly coated. Sprinkle with thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss again to ensure even seasoning.
  3. Roast the Vegetables:
    Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Roast in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and lightly browned.
  4. Serve:
    Transfer the roasted veggies to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Enjoy warm as a side dish or cool for meal-prep portions.
