Ingredients
  

2 cups broccoli florets

2 cups cauliflower florets

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), diced

1 red onion, cut into wedges

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup olive oil

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, and red onion.

      Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.

        Toss the Veggies: Pour the garlic lemon mixture over the chopped vegetables and toss until all the veggies are well coated with the dressing.

          Roast the Vegetables: Spread the coated vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are in a single layer for even roasting. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.

            Prepare the Bowls: Once the veggies are done, remove them from the oven. In serving bowls, layer a scoop of cooked quinoa or brown rice (if using) at the bottom. Top with a generous portion of the roasted vegetables.

              Garnish and Serve: Finish each bowl with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and an extra drizzle of lemon juice if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious bowl!
