Ingredients
  

4 medium red potatoes, chopped into bite-sized pieces

3 large carrots, peeled and sliced into thick rounds

2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

A handful of fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a perfect roasting environment for your vegetables.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped red potatoes, thick carrot rounds, and half-moon zucchini slices. Mix them well, creating a colorful medley.

      In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, finely minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, smoked paprika, and a sprinkle of salt and freshly cracked black pepper. This fragrant herb mixture will infuse your vegetables with amazing flavor.

        Drizzle the herb and oil mixture over the prepared vegetables in the large bowl. Use your hands or a spatula to toss everything together until each piece of vegetable is generously coated with the flavorful oil and herbs.

          Spread the coated vegetables out evenly on a large baking sheet, ensuring they’re in a single layer for optimal roasting. This helps them caramelize beautifully.

            Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the vegetables for 30-35 minutes. Check for tenderness and a golden brown finish, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.

              When the vegetables are perfectly roasted and fragrant, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This allows the flavors to settle.

                Before serving, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the roasted vegetables to add a burst of freshness and vibrant color, enhancing both presentation and flavor.

                  - Prep Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 45 minutes | Servings: 4
