Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables at a high temperature that will ensure they become tender and slightly caramelized.
Toss Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat all pieces evenly with the seasoning and oil, which will enhance their flavor as they roast.
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
Roast the Vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the vegetables for 25 to 30 minutes. Stir the vegetables halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and tenderness.
Finish and Serve: Once the vegetables are tender and lightly golden on the edges, remove them from the oven. If desired, drizzle with balsamic vinegar to add a tangy sweetness before serving.

Notes

Use any mix of seasonal vegetables for variety and freshness.
Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese after roasting for extra flavor if not vegan.
Cut all vegetables into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
