Scale
Vegetables
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 cups Cauliflower florets
- 2 cups Carrots, sliced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 medium Yellow bell pepper, chopped
Seasonings and Oil
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
Garnish
- 1/4 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the vegetables evenly and to a nice caramelized finish.
- Prepare the vegetables: Wash thoroughly and chop the broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and both red and yellow bell peppers into bite-sized pieces, ensuring even cooking and easy serving.
- Toss vegetables with seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly with the flavorful mixture.
- Roast the vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetables out evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer to allow proper roasting. Place in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized on the edges.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness, then serve immediately as a delicious, nutritious side dish.
