Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure even roasting.

  3. In your prepared oven pan, combine all the chopped vegetables: zucchini, yellow squash, asparagus, garlic, and mushrooms.
  4. Drizzle olive oil over the mixed vegetables, ensuring they are well-coated. Sprinkle fresh rosemary and dried parsley over the top.
  5. Using your hands or a spatula, toss the vegetables thoroughly to ensure even coating.
  6. Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast for 30-40 minutes, stirring halfway through for even roasting.

  8. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving platter and enjoy with your main course.
