– 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
– 2 cups carrots, sliced into rounds
– 2 cups zucchini, chopped into half-moons

Creating Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes, Carrots, and Zucchini is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, sliced carrots, and chopped zucchini.
3. Make the Herb Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
4. Combine: Pour the herb mixture over the vegetables and toss until evenly coated.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and golden brown, tossing halfway through.
7. Check Doneness: Use a fork to check if the potatoes are tender. They should easily pierce without resistance.
8. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
9. Enjoy: Serve warm as a delightful side or a wholesome vegetarian dish.
