Ingredients

• 3 medium Carrots
• 2 medium Zucchini
• 2 Red bell pepper
• 1 large Red onion
• 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 4 Garlic cloves
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 cups Baby spinach
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel and cut the carrots into thin sticks. Slice the zucchini and red bell peppers into bite-sized chunks. Peel and slice the red onion into wedges.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrots, zucchini, red bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and peeled garlic cloves.

Step 4

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 5

Strip the leaves off the rosemary sprigs and chop them finely. Sprinkle the chopped rosemary over the vegetables and toss again.

Step 6

Spread the vegetables evenly on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are in one layer for even roasting.

Step 7

Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 8

While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil until smooth.

Step 9

Once the vegetables are finished roasting, let them cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.

Step 10

In a large salad bowl, add the baby spinach as the base. Layer the roasted vegetables on top.

Step 11

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Step 12

Serve immediately while the vegetables are slightly warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
