# Ingredients:

→ Base Vegetables

01 - Carrots, chopped into 1-inch pieces
02 - Broccoli florets
03 - Cauliflower florets
04 - Bell peppers, sliced into strips
05 - Zucchini, cut into thick slices
06 - Sweet potatoes, cubed
07 - Brussels sprouts, halved

→ Garlic-Herb Coating

08 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
09 - 4 garlic cloves, minced
10 - 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
11 - 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried)
12 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for extra flavor)
13 - ½ teaspoon salt
14 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper

→ Optional Finishing Touches

15 - Grated Parmesan cheese (skip for vegan option)
16 - Fresh lemon zest
17 - Red pepper flakes for heat

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and optimal roasting.
02 - Select 3-4 vegetables from the base list, ensuring approximately 6-8 cups of total chopped veggies. Cut them into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
03 - In a large bowl, combine chopped vegetables with olive oil, minced garlic, fresh herbs, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Toss well to fully coat each piece.
04 - Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid crowding to achieve crispy, caramelized edges.
05 - Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes. Flip the vegetables halfway through roasting to ensure even browning.
06 - Once roasted, transfer the vegetables to a serving dish. Add finishing touches such as Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, or red pepper flakes as desired, and serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure vegetables are spread out in a single layer to enhance roasting and prevent steaming.
