    Ingredients

    • 1 sweet potato, roughly chopped
    • 3 tomatoes, roughly chopped
    • 1 zucchini, roughly chopped
    • 2 red peppers, roughly chopped
    • 1 bulb of garlic, cloves separated and peeled
    • 1 onion, sliced
    • 2 teaspoons mixed dried herbs (e.g., Italian seasoning,)

    • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Arrange the sweet potato, tomatoes, zucchini, red peppers, garlic cloves, and sliced onion on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with mixed dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat.
    • Roast the vegetables for 20 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
    • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the vegetables cool for 5 minutes.
