Ingredients

• 12 ounces trimmed green beans
• 12 ounces yellow squash, sliced and cut into half moons
• 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon dried basil
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• Freshly grated parmesan cheese for serving (optional)
• Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Directions
Get the vegetables and oven ready: Set the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, cut the yellow squash into half-moons, then wash and trim the green beans. To make sure they roast correctly, pat them dry with a fresh towel.
Combine and season: Combine the cherry tomatoes, yellow squash, and green beans in a large mixing dish. To ensure uniform coating, drizzle with olive oil and toss. Add garlic powder, dried basil, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt. Stir until the vegetables have a good seasoning.

Spread and Roast: Spread the veggies in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even roasting. Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.

Add Parmesan (Optional): Remove the roasted veggies from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese over the top while they’re still hot. The heat will melt the cheese slightly for added flavor.

Garnish and Serve: Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy as a side dish with your favorite protein or as a healthy vegetarian option!
