Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the carrots, then slice them into thin sticks or rounds. Chop the zucchini into half-moons, slice the red bell pepper into strips, halve the cherry tomatoes, and cut the red onion into wedges.
Place all the prepared vegetables onto the lined baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme. Toss everything together to coat evenly.
Spread the vegetables out in an even layer, ensuring they aren't overcrowded. This will help them roast and caramelize properly instead of steaming.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly browned around the edges.
While the vegetables are roasting, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the vegetables are done roasting, remove the tray from the oven and allow them to cool for 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving platter. Crumble the goat cheese over the top, sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts, and garnish with the remaining 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme.
For an optional finishing touch, drizzle the dish with balsamic glaze before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
