Servings: 4

Ingredients

Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
Parmesan cheese (1 cup, grated)
Garlic (4 cloves, minced)
Olive oil (3 tablespoons)
Yellow squash (1 medium, sliced)
Zucchini (1 medium, sliced)
Bell peppers (2 (any color), chopped)
Carrots (2 medium, sliced)
Broccoli florets (2 cups)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, sliced carrots, chopped bell peppers, sliced zucchini, and sliced yellow squash.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and toss well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
Add the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, and season generously with salt and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
Spread the vegetable mixture onto a baking sheet in a single layer to promote even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. For an extra touch, sprinkle with additional Parmesan just before serving.
