Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

6. Prepare the Olives:
- While the vegetables are roasting, roughly chop 1/3 cup of pitted olives.
- Once the vegetables are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving bowl.

Tips:
- Ensure the zucchini and cherry tomatoes are evenly coated with olive oil for even roasting.
- Use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Keep an eye on the roasting vegetables to avoid overcooking, which can make them too soft.
- For extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic or a squeeze of lemon juice after roasting.
- Finely chop the olives to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the salsa.
