Ingredients
  

1 cup assorted cured meats (such as prosciutto, salami, and chorizo)

1 cup assorted cheeses (including Brie, aged cheddar, and gouda)

1 cup marinated olives (green and black)

1 cup assorted nuts (almonds, walnuts, and pecans)

1 cup fresh seasonal vegetables (like cherry tomatoes, radishes, and bell peppers)

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped

2 teaspoons fresh thyme, finely chopped

2 teaspoons fresh oregano, finely chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Fresh herbs for garnish (optional, such as parsley or basil)

Artisan bread or a selection of gourmet crackers for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables.

    Prepare the Ingredients: Rinse the fresh vegetables well under cold water. Cut them into bite-sized pieces; you may choose to keep the cherry tomatoes whole for visual appeal. Slice the cheeses into cubes or wedges, ensuring they are of varying sizes for a dynamic presentation. Arrange the cured meats artistically on a separate plate.

      Season the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared fresh vegetables with the olive oil, garlic powder, chopped rosemary, thyme, oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss the mixture thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated with the flavor-infused oil.

        Roast the Vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender, lightly browned, and have developed a hint of caramelization for added sweetness.

          Arrange the Charcuterie: While the vegetables are roasting, select a large serving platter to showcase your charcuterie. Create sections on the platter and artfully arrange the cured meats, cheeses, marinated olives, and assorted nuts, keeping colors and shapes in mind for an enticing visual contrast.

            Add the Roasted Vegetables: Once the roasted vegetables have cooled slightly, gently incorporate them into the charcuterie board, placing them thoughtfully among the other components for balance.

              Garnish and Serve: To elevate the aroma and presentation, sprinkle the platter with fresh herbs just before serving. Pair the charcuterie board with slices of artisan bread or a variety of gourmet crackers to enhance the tasting experience.

                Enjoy: Gather your loved ones around the table and enjoy this delightful fusion of flavors, perfect for any gathering or celebration!
