This is hands down the best way to cook vegetables. When you roast them it adds depth and delicious flavor, and they finish with the perfect texture. This has been one of my go-to lunches lately, just a bowl of quinoa topped with lemon spritzed roasted veggies. So good!

Ingredients
2mediumbell pepperscored, chopped into 1-inch pieces (I used 1 red 1 yellow)
2mediumcarrots,peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch thick slices
1smallzucchini,end trimmed, sliced through the length then cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1mediumbroccoli crown,cut into small florets (reserve stem for another use)
1/2mediumred onion,peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
Place bell peppers, carrots, zucchini, broccoli, and red onion on a rimmed 18 by 13-inch baking sheet*
Drizzle with olive oil (broccoli needs a little more than the other veggies), sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic, salt and pepper then toss to coat.
Spread into an even layer, roast in preheated oven 15 minutes.
Remove and toss in tomatoes, return to oven and roast 10 minutes longer.
Drizzle with lemon and serve warm.
Notes
*Use a dark baking sheet if you have one. It helps brown the veggies a little better.
Optionally you can finish the vegetables with 1/4 cup finely shredded parmesan. This can be added after tossing once (for the last 10 minute bake time).
