Herbs and Spices
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Other Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Prepare Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, carrot sticks, and zucchini half-moons to create a colorful vegetable medley.
- Season Vegetables: Add olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, rosemary, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting and caramelization.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the vegetables for 30–35 minutes. Halfway through cooking, toss the vegetables gently to promote even browning and tenderness.
- Finish and Serve: Once the potatoes are golden and vegetables are tender, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the roasted vegetables for a fresh burst of flavor and serve warm.
