Ingredients
For this recipe you will need some Mediterranean vegetables. I like to use peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes and red onions, but you can also use other veggies like broccoli, eggplant and garlic if you like.
Additionally, you will need olive oil and some seasoning. I use parsley, basil, garlic powder, salt and oregano - but you can also substitute these with a Mediterranean seasoning blend or other herbs.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 °F / 220 °C / 210 °C fan oven.
Dice and chop all the vegetables into similar sized chunks. Add them to a bowl, along with the other ingredients.
Stir until every vegetable piece is well coated in the oil and herbs. Transfer them to a baking sheet, and bake them in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until all the vegetables have softened and warmed through.
Serve the veggies immediately while they are still warm for the best results.
Top tips
Here are my best tips to succeed with this recipe:
- Use your favorite veggies! This recipe can be used to roast practically any vegetable out there. If you want to use potatoes or other root vegetables, you might want to parboil them first as they tend to need more time to cook through.
- As different ovens can cook at different temperatures, your vegetables might take slightly longer or shorter to roast than the estimated time. Keep an eye on them!
