Ingredients
  

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 yellow bell pepper, diced

1 green zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 small red onion, chopped into wedges

1 cup baby carrots, halved lengthwise

1 cup broccoli florets

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (a blend of oregano, basil, and thyme)

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (optional for a flavor boost)

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures a hot cooking environment for perfectly roasted vegetables.

    Prepare the Vegetables: Thoroughly wash and chop all the vegetables into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. Combine the chopped veggies in a large mixing bowl.

      Season the Vegetables: Drizzle the olive oil over the mixed vegetables. Then, generously sprinkle with garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Toss everything gently using your hands or a spatula until all the veggies are well-coated with the oil and seasonings.

        Spread on Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to facilitate easy cleanup. Carefully transfer the seasoned vegetables onto the sheet, spreading them out into a single layer. This promotes even roasting and prevents steaming.

          Roast in the Oven: Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven. Roast the vegetables for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure they cook evenly. They should emerge tender with delightful caramelized edges.

            Enhance the Flavor (Optional): For an additional layer of flavor, drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the roasting vegetables during the last 5 minutes of cooking. This adds a nice acidity and sweetness that compliments the richness of the roasted veggies.

              Garnish: Once the veggies are perfectly roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Before serving, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

                Serve: Enjoy this vibrant Rainbow Veggie Medley warm, either as a flavorful side dish, atop a bed of quinoa or rice, or as a colorful filling in wraps.
