Summary

Author Barbara Seelig-Brown says, "Veggies are delicious when roasted. Their flavors are enhanced and the natural sugars are caramelized, which give them a nice crunch. Vary this recipe by using whatever veggies you like or roast one single vegetable at a time. I sometimes roast peeled beets or trimmed Brussels sprouts and even the naysayers always love them!"

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.

  2. Place eggplant in a large bowl. Lightly salt eggplant and let sit for 10 minutes. (This will prevent it from absorbing too much oil.) Add remaining vegetables and toss with olive oil.

  3. Line baking sheet with parchment. Place vegetables on baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Roast to desired doneness, approximately 20–30 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste.

  4. Place on serving platter and sprinkle with balsamic vinegar. Garnish with fresh herbs.

    I'm not one for vegetables but I swapped out some veggies and added extras of others. I'm not a mushroom person nor do we like eggplant. I added extra zucchini and red peppers, I kept the green pepper in but they were rather tarte so decided I'll add cherry tomatoes instead the next time along with onions, I just couldn't pick up the flavor of the shallot. I also added Italian dressing to the EVOO that I used since I did cut up so many veggies to coat and to add an extra layer of flavor. I omitted the salt since I added the Italian dressing then whether it was me, my son or my mom who was recently diagnosed being pre-diabetic could add salt to their personal preference. Overall it is a dish that got a three way thumbs up! I will be making this again shortly.
