• 1 red bell pepper, chopped

• 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped

• 1 zucchini, sliced

• 1 red onion, cut into wedges

• 3 tbsp olive oil

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning (or a mix of thyme, oregano, and basil)

• ½ tsp salt

• ½ tsp black pepper

• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

• Optional: ½ tsp red pepper flakes or a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness

1. Preheat oven: Set oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
