Certainly! Here's a detailed recipe for Roasted Vegetables:

Ingredients:

- Assorted vegetables (e.g., carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, broccoli)

- Olive oil

- Salt and pepper

- Herbs and spices (rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, paprika - choose according to your preference)

Instructions:

1. **Preheat the Oven:**

   - Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. **Prepare the Vegetables:**

   - Wash and peel (if necessary) the vegetables. Cut them into evenly sized pieces to ensure even roasting.

3. **Toss in Olive Oil:**

   - In a large bowl, toss the vegetables with olive oil. Use enough oil to coat the vegetables evenly. This helps in achieving a crispy exterior.

4. **Season with Salt, Pepper, and Herbs:**

   - Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs and spices. Common choices include rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the vegetables again to ensure even seasoning.

5. **Spread on Baking Sheet:**

   - Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to allow for proper roasting.

6. **Roast in the Oven:**

   - Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for about 20-25 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and have a golden brown color, stirring halfway through the cooking time.

7. **Serve:**

   - Once the vegetables are roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven. Adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot as a side dish or as a base for other recipes.

8. **Optional Additions:**

   - For added flavor, you can squeeze fresh lemon juice over the roasted vegetables before serving or sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese.
