Ingredients
  

2 cups broccoli florets

2 cups cauliflower florets

1 cup baby carrots, halved

1 cup bell peppers, cut into bite-sized pieces (mix of colors for visual appeal)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Zest of 1 lemon (to brighten the flavors)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to make for easy cleanup later.

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, halved baby carrots, and cut bell peppers. Ensure the vegetables are well mixed for even seasoning.

      Create the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Ensure that all ingredients are fully combined and fragrant.

        Coat the Vegetables: Drizzle the garlic butter mixture over the prepared vegetables. Using a large spoon or your hands, gently toss the veggies until they are all thoroughly coated with the flavorful mixture.

          Spread on the Baking Sheet: Carefully transfer the coated vegetables onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread them out into a single, even layer to promote uniform roasting and avoid overcrowding.

            Roast to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the vegetables for 20-25 minutes. Stir the veggies halfway through the cooking time to ensure they cook evenly. They should be tender and lightly caramelized when done.

              Incorporate Lemon Zest: Once roasted, remove the veggies from the oven and sprinkle the fresh lemon zest and chopped parsley over the top. Toss gently to combine, enhancing both flavor and presentation.

                Serve and Enjoy: Serve these delicious garlic butter roasted veggies warm. They make an excellent side dish to complement any main course, or they can be enjoyed on their own as a satisfying, healthy treat!
