Instructions
Creating this delightful side dish is simple and straightforward. Follow these easy steps:
- Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 425ยฐF (220ยฐC). This high temperature will help your vegetables caramelize, bringing out their natural sweetness.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Begin by washing and drying all your vegetables thoroughly. Chop the bell peppers, slice the carrots, squash, and onion, and cut the broccoli into florets. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add all the chopped vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil, then add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and fresh rosemary.
- Toss Vegetables: Using your hands or a large spoon, gently toss the vegetables until they are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Ensure they do not overlap too much, as this will help them roast evenly.
- Roast the Vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred around the edges.
- Add Lemon Juice: Once roasted, remove the vegetables from the oven and drizzle with fresh lemon juice for a touch of brightness.
- Serve: Transfer the roasted vegetable medley to a serving dish and enjoy immediately while hot.
