Ingredients:
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch cubes

Preheat oven to 450°F. In a large mixing bowl, toss the chopped red pepper, green beans, carrots, Brussels sprouts, and onion with 2 tablespoons of EVOO, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast for 15–20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes until vegetables are browned and tender.
