Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 2 medium yellow squash
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 1 large red onion
• 1 cup baby carrots
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup.

Step 2

Wash and prepare all vegetables. Slice the zucchini, yellow squash, and red onion into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Cut the red and yellow bell peppers into thick strips. If the baby carrots are particularly large, slice them in half lengthwise.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until thoroughly combined.

Step 4

Add all the vegetables except the fresh parsley into the mixing bowl. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly with the balsamic mixture.

Step 5

Spread the coated vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting. Avoid overcrowding the vegetables, as this may cause them to steam instead of roast.

Step 6

Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.

Step 7

Remove the vegetables from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

Step 8

Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite proteins or grain dishes, or enjoy as a standalone meal!
