Ingredients
  

For the Medley
  • 1 bunch Asparagus Provides a delicate, earthy flavor and a tender-crisp texture; substitute with green beans or broccoli florets.
  • 2 cups Zucchini Adds moisture and subtle sweetness; can be replaced with other summer squashes like pattypan or crookneck.
  • 2 cups Yellow Squash Contributes a slight nutty flavor and vibrant color; same substitutes as zucchini apply.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Offers aromatic depth to the dish; use fresh for the best flavor.
  • 1 cup Mushrooms (button) Brings umami richness; can be swapped for cremini or shiitake for a bolder taste, or use dried mushrooms (rehydrate before cooking).
For the Seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Ensures even roasting and adds richness.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Rosemary Adds fragrant herbal notes; substitute with dried rosemary (use one-third the amount) or fresh thyme for a different flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Dried Parsley Enhances the overall flavor profile with a light, herbal touch.

Equipment

  • Medium oven-safe pan
  • Chopping board

  5. Season the Medley: Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle them with fresh rosemary and dried parsley.
