Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prep vegetables: cut potatoes into even pieces, peel and chunk carrots, slice zucchini into half-moons.
- In a small saucepan, warm olive oil over medium-low heat. Add garlic, rosemary, thyme, and oregano. Heat for 30-45 seconds until fragrant, then remove from heat.
- Place potatoes and carrots in a large bowl. Add two-thirds of the herb-garlic oil mixture, ¾ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Toss well.
- Spread potatoes and carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss zucchini with the remaining herb-garlic oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
- After 20 minutes, remove baking sheet from oven. Add the seasoned zucchini, gently tossing everything together.
- Return to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes, until all vegetables are tender and caramelized at the edges.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
- Serve immediately while still warm for the best flavor and texture.
