Mediterranean Roasted Vegetables

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 sm. eggplant, sliced and quartered
  • 1 zucchini, halved and sliced
  • 1 yellow squash, halved and sliced
  • 1 orange bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch squares
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped into 1-inch squares
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Dressing

  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp dry basil
  • 1/2 tsp dry oregano
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Fresh parsley or lemon wedge for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Grab your eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes. Prepare and put in a bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and herbs (basil, oregano, thyme). Season with salt to taste.
  3. Pour the dressing over the chopped veggies in a large bowl and toss until the veggies are evenly coated. Spread them out on your prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
  4. Put the veggies into the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes. Be sure to stir everything halfway through to ensure even cooking. You’ll know they’re done when they’re tender and just starting to char on the edges.
  5. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedge on the side. (optional)
