Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for roasting the vegetables evenly.
Prepare the baking sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Toss the vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets, chopped red bell pepper, sliced zucchini, sliced yellow squash, and red onion chunks. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything thoroughly until each piece is well coated.
Arrange for roasting: Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd them to allow proper caramelization.
Roast the vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20–25 minutes. Stir the vegetables halfway through to ensure even browning and tenderness.
Finish and serve: Once the vegetables are tender and lightly browned, remove them from the oven. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve the medley warm as a delicious and colorful side dish.

Notes

Use seasonal vegetables for a fresh and varied flavor profile.
Avoid overcrowding the baking pan to promote proper caramelization and roasting.
This medley pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, pasta, or as a healthy standalone side.
