ROASTED VEGETABLES

Yields 8 servings

  • Ingredients
  • 1 small eggplant, unpeeled, cubed
  • 3 medium peeled carrots, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into 2-inch pieces
  • 6 2-inch cauliflower florets
  • 6 2-inch broccoli florets
  • 6 small white onions, peeled
  • 4 plum tomatoes, halved
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1–2 tablespoons fresh herbs, basil, oregano, thyme, or rosemary

Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

In a large bowl toss the vegetables with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs. Spread the vegetables on a large baking sheet. Place in the oven and roast 12 to 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender and lightly browned. Cool to room temperature.

Softer vegetables, such as tomatoes, zucchini, and peppers, require less roasting time, so remove them at the desired doneness.
