Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced into thin rounds
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges

Seasoning & Dressing

  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Finishing

  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, sliced carrots, red bell pepper strips, sliced zucchini, and red onion wedges evenly.
  3. Season the Vegetables: Add the minced garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss thoroughly until all the vegetables are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
  4. Arrange for Roasting: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. This ensures they roast evenly and caramelize properly.
  5. Roast the Vegetables: Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking. The vegetables should become tender and develop a slight caramelized brown color around the edges.
  6. Add Balsamic Vinegar: Remove the tray from the oven and drizzle the roasted vegetables with balsamic vinegar. Gently toss to coat all pieces with the vinegar for added flavor.
  7. Finish with Parmesan: Transfer the vegetables to a serving platter and sprinkle evenly with freshly grated Parmesan cheese to add a savory, cheesy finish.
  8. Serve: Serve the garlic roasted vegetables immediately while warm as a delicious side dish or a light and healthy main course.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, do not overcrowd the baking sheet; roast in batches if necessary.
  • You can substitute Parmesan cheese with a vegan alternative to make the dish vegan-friendly.
  • Adjust herbs and seasoning to your taste; fresh herbs can be used instead of dried.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
  • To enhance garlic flavor, roast whole garlic cloves with the vegetables instead of minced garlic if preferred.
