Ingredients

• 2 medium eggplant
• 2 medium zucchini
• 2 large red bell peppers
• 2 large yellow bell peppers
• 3 large potatoes
• 3 medium carrots
• 4 large ripe tomatoes
• 2 medium onions
• 4 large garlic cloves
• 5 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1.5 cups vegetable broth
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash and prepare all the vegetables. Cut the eggplants, zucchini, red bell peppers, yellow bell peppers, and potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Peel and slice the carrots into rounds. Chop the onions and mince the garlic.

Step 3

In a large roasting pan or casserole dish, layer the vegetables: start with the potatoes and carrots at the bottom, followed by eggplants, zucchini, and peppers. Scatter the onions and garlic evenly over the vegetables.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, tomato paste, and vegetable broth. Add paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir until combined.

Step 5

Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the vegetables, ensuring they are well-coated. Use a spoon or your hands to toss the vegetables gently if needed.

Step 6

Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil or a lid. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Remove the foil or lid and continue baking for another 30 minutes to allow the vegetables to caramelize slightly and the liquid to reduce.

Step 8

Once the vegetables are tender and golden, remove the pan from the oven. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley on top as garnish before serving. Serve warm, either on its own or with crusty bread or rice.
