Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 1 lb broccoli florets
  • 1 lb bell peppers (any color), cored and chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. Step 2

    Prepare vegetables: In a very large bowl, combine broccoli florets, chopped bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure all vegetables are evenly coated.

  3. Step 3

    Roast: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they aren't overcrowded; use two baking sheets if necessary to allow them to roast rather than steam. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly caramelized, tossing halfway through.

  4. Step 4

    Finish and serve: Remove from oven. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest. Toss gently. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Tips

  • Adjust roasting time based on your oven and desired crispness; some like their veggies softer, others more al dente.
  • Feel free to swap in other quick-cooking veggies like asparagus, cherry tomatoes (add for the last 10 minutes), or Brussels sprouts.
