How to Make Vegan Greek Sheet Pan Dinner

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the vegetables by chopping the bell peppers, slicing the zucchini, cutting the onion into wedges, and halving the cherry tomatoes.
3. Make the marinade by combining olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined.
4. Add the vegetables and chickpeas to the bowl with the marinade. Toss everything until well coated.
5. Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
6. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
7. Add the olives and garlic during the last 10 minutes of cooking to prevent burning.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges, homemade vegan cream cheese, and warm pita bread.

4. Protein Boost: Add cubed extra-firm tofu tossed in the same marinade for additional plant-based protein.
