???? Ingredients (U.S. Measurements)

• 1 lb baby potatoes (halved or quartered if large)
• 3 medium carrots (peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces)
• 2 medium zucchinis (sliced into 1/2-inch rounds or half-moons)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or fresh, chopped, for garnish)
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan for serving

???? Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Prep the Vegetables

Place the potatoes and carrots in a large bowl. Toss with half of the olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Spread evenly on the baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Step 3: Add the Zucchini

While the potatoes and carrots roast, toss the zucchini with the remaining olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet and add the zucchini. Gently stir everything together and spread into an even layer.

Return to the oven and roast for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender and golden on the edges.

Step 4: Serve

Sprinkle with parsley (or Parmesan, if desired) before serving warm.
