**Ingredients:**

– 4 garlic cloves, minced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
– Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. **Preheat the Oven:** Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s nice and hot when you’re ready to roast the vegetables.
2. **Prepare the Vegetables:** Wash and slice the bell peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
3. **Add the Garlic:** Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl of vegetables.
4. **Season with Olive Oil, Salt, and Pepper:** Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. **Toss to Coat:** Using your hands or a large spoon, gently toss the vegetables to ensure they are evenly coated with the olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
6. **Roast in the Oven:** Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
7. **Add Feta Cheese:** Once the vegetables are roasted to your liking, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of the hot vegetables, allowing it to melt slightly.
