Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the zucchini and red bell peppers thoroughly.
- Cut the zucchini into quarter-inch thick slices or half-moons.
- Slice the onion into thin wedges.
- Remove the seeds and core from the red bell peppers, and cut them into strips or bite-sized chunks.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk until well mixed.
- Add the zucchini, onion, and red bell pepper pieces to the bowl. Toss them gently to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning mix.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. If necessary, use two baking sheets to avoid overcrowding.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized at the edges. Stir the vegetables halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
- While vegetables roast, zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Cut the lemon in half and remove any seeds.
- Once the vegetables are done roasting, remove them from the oven.
- Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the hot vegetables.
- Sprinkle the lemon zest over the top for added flavor.
- Toss gently to coat the vegetables with the lemon juice and zest evenly.
- Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving platter. Serve them hot as a delicious and healthy side dish.
Tips:
- Ensure that the vegetables are cut into uniform pieces so they cook evenly.
- You can add other herbs like thyme, rosemary, or basil for additional flavor.
- Stir the vegetables halfway through the roasting time to ensure even cooking.
- For a touch of sweetness, add a drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving.
