ingredients

4 Servings
600 g bell peppers, mixed colors
400 g tomatoes, medium-sized
150 g red onion, large
4 cloves garlic
60 ml olive oil
2 g dried oregano
2 g dried thyme
5 g salt
1 g freshly ground black pepper
5 g fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Steps

1

Prepare Vegetables

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C for fan-assisted ovens). Cut the eggplant, bell peppers, and tomatoes into larger, bite-sized pieces. Quarter the red onion and thinly slice the garlic.

2

Season and Roast

In a large bowl, combine all the chopped vegetables with olive oil, dried oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Toss them once halfway through cooking.

3

Serve

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, if using. Serve warm or at room temperature, either on its own or as a side dish.

Extra Tips

Don't be afraid to experiment with spices! A pinch of chili flakes or rosemary also goes great with this dish.

If you prefer crispier vegetables, roast them at a higher temperature for a shorter time.

You can also serve it sprinkled with fresh feta or drizzled with a little balsamic glaze.
