This dish features a vibrant array of color and flavor from fresh bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, and cherry tomatoes, all harmoniously roasted with slices of red onion and aromatic garlic. Tossed in a light coating of rich olive oil, and seasoned with a blend of salt, black pepper, and dried thyme, these vegetables transform into a tender, slightly caramelized delight. Fresh parsley adds a final burst of freshness before serving. This recipe has roots in Mediterranean cuisine where roasting vegetables is a common cooking method to enhance their natural sweetness.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

Fresh parsley (2 tablespoons, chopped)
Dried thyme (1 teaspoon)
Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
Salt (1 teaspoon)
Olive oil (3 tablespoons)
Cherry tomatoes (2 cups)
Carrots (2 cups, sliced)
Zucchini (2 cups, sliced)
Bell peppers (2 cups, sliced)
Garlic cloves (4 cloves, minced)
Red onion (1 large, sliced)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced red onion, minced garlic, bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, and cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Toss all the ingredients together until the vegetables are well-coated.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Toss the vegetables halfway through the roasting time for uniform cooking.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Best enjoyed hot.
