Ingredients
  

  • 1 large zucchini trimmed and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 large eggplant trimmed and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 red bell pepper deseeded and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 yellow bell pepper deseeded and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 red onion cut into wedges
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes left whole
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, for a touch of heat
  • salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives pitted and halved (optional)
  • fresh parsley or dill for garnish (optional)
  • lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Equipment

  • Large rimmed baking sheet
  • Roasting Pan
  • Large mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Select a large rimmed baking sheet or a roasting pan that can comfortably hold all of your vegetables in a single layer. This is crucial for ensuring even cooking and proper caramelization.
  2. Wash and prepare all your vegetables as specified in the ingredients list: cut the zucchini and eggplant into roughly 1-inch chunks, deseed and chop the bell peppers into similar-sized pieces, and cut the red onion into wedges. Leave the cherry tomatoes whole. Mince the garlic finely.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped zucchini, eggplant, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion wedges, and cherry tomatoes. Add the minced garlic. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the vegetables. Sprinkle the dried oregano, thyme, rosemary, and red pepper flakes (if using) over the mixture. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  4. Using your hands or a large spoon, gently toss all the ingredients together until the vegetables are evenly coated with olive oil and seasonings. Ensure that the garlic and herbs are distributed throughout the mixture.
  5. Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. It’s important not to overcrowd the pan, as this can lead to steaming rather than roasting. If your pan is too small, use two pans. For an extra burst of brininess, you can scatter the halved Kalamata olives over the vegetables at this stage if you’re using them.

  6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly golden brown at the edges. Toss the vegetables halfway through the cooking time (around 15-20 minutes) to ensure they cook evenly on all sides. The cherry tomatoes should have softened and begun to burst.
  7. Once the vegetables are tender and beautifully roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or dill, if desired. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, zesty finish.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes for best texture.
