Ingredients
  

1 cup bell peppers (red, yellow, green) - chopped into bite-sized pieces

1 cup cherry tomatoes - halved

1 cup zucchini - sliced into half-moons

1 cup carrots - sliced into thin matchsticks

1 cup red onions - cut into wedges

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

4 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will ensure your veggies get crispy.

    Prepare the vegetables by washing and chopping them as specified in the ingredients list. Try to keep the pieces uniform in size for even roasting.

      In a large mixing bowl, combine the bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, carrots, red onions, and corn.

        In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until well blended.

          Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss everything together until the veggies are evenly coated.

            Spread the coated vegetables on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer to allow for proper roasting.

              Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the veggies are tender and have a beautiful golden-brown color.

                Remove from the oven, and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for a fresh finish. Optionally, you can drizzle with more balsamic vinegar if desired.

                  Serve immediately as a side dish or toss them into a salad, grain bowl, or wrap for a delightful, colorful meal.
