Instructions

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is essential to caramelize and crisp the vegetables without drying them out, ensuring a perfect roasted texture and flavor.
Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the chopped carrots, broccoli florets, halved Brussels sprouts, and red bell pepper strips. Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, then sprinkle sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Toss thoroughly to coat every piece evenly with the seasoning, setting the stage for a flavorful roast.
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Ensure there is ample space between pieces to avoid overcrowding, which could cause steaming instead of roasting and diminish the crisp texture.
Roast to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the vegetables for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking to ensure they brown evenly. Watch as they develop a beautiful golden-brown color and a tender, yet crispy texture, filling your kitchen with inviting aromas.

Notes

For an extra flavor boost, toss the roasted vegetables with a splash of balsamic vinegar or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice right after roasting.
Feel free to swap or add other vegetables like cauliflower, sweet potatoes, or zucchini based on your preference.
Use fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder for a more intense garlic flavor.
Ensure the vegetables are cut into similar sizes for even roasting.
To keep vegetables crispier, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet; use multiple sheets if necessary.
