1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh thyme if available)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and peel (if necessary) the vegetables. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are roughly the same size so they cook evenly.
Season the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the cut vegetables, olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated with the oil and seasonings. If you like, drizzle with balsamic vinegar for extra depth of flavor.
Roast the Vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are golden brown and crispy on the edges, tossing once halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Serve: Once the vegetables are roasted to your liking, remove them from the oven. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Add More Vegetables: Feel free to include other vegetables like sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, or parsnips to mix things up.

Spicy Garlic Roasted Vegetables: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix for a spicy kick.

Lemon Garlic Roasted Vegetables: Add lemon zest and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice after roasting for a bright, citrusy flavor.

Cheese: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the vegetables during the last 5 minutes of roasting for a cheesy finish.

Herb Variations: Try different herbs like oregano, basil, or sage to customize the flavor to your preference.
