👩🍳 Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet (or two, if needed) with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2
In a very large mixing bowl, combine the cubed eggplant, zucchini, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion wedges, and halved cherry tomatoes.
3
Drizzle the vegetables with extra virgin olive oil. Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss everything thoroughly with your hands until all the vegetables are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
4
Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet(s). Ensure they are not overcrowded, as this is crucial for proper roasting and caramelization. Use two sheets if necessary.
5
Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through, until they are tender-crisp, beautifully browned, and slightly caramelized at the edges.
6
Remove from the oven. If desired, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the hot vegetables for a bright finish. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or dill, and serve immediately. Optionally, top with crumbled feta cheese and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
💡 Notes
For best results, ensure vegetables are cut into similar-sized pieces for even cooking. Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow for proper roasting and caramelization. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
