Steps

1. 1

   Start by preheating the oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, mix together all the vegetables except for the zucchini with 3 tablespoons of oil. Spread out the vegetables on a large rimmed baking sheet, leaving the bowl aside for later use. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper before roasting them in the oven for 15 minutes.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, place the zucchini. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of oil over the zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Toss the zucchini to ensure it is evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.

3. 3

   Place the zucchini on a baking sheet together with the other vegetables. Roast them in the oven until they are all soft, stirring them around occasionally. This should take approximately 15 minutes. If preparing in advance, you can make the vegetables up to 2 hours ahead. Allow them to sit at room temperature. To reheat, place the vegetables back in a 350°F oven for about 8 to 10 minutes until warmed through.
