Ingredients

• 2 medium (sliced into rounds) zucchini
• 3 medium (peeled and cut into sticks) carrots
• 1 large (cut into 1-inch pieces) red bell pepper
• 1 medium (cut into wedges) red onion
• 2 cups (halved) baby potatoes
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) chives
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, carrots, red bell pepper, red onion, and baby potatoes.

Step 3

Drizzle the vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated in the oil and seasonings.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure there is space between the pieces for even roasting.

Step 5

Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned.

Step 6

While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the lemon chive dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped chives.

Step 7

Once the vegetables are roasted, transfer them to a serving dish. Drizzle the lemon chive dressing over the top and gently toss to combine.

Step 8

Serve warm as a side dish, or let cool slightly for a refreshing addition to any meal. Enjoy!
