Ingredients:
4 medium red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
3 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the red potatoes and zucchini. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Season: Add the rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the bowl. Toss again to ensure the vegetables are well-seasoned.
