Ingredients

• 2 medium Zucchini
• 1 large Eggplant
• 2 large Red bell peppers
• 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 1 large Red onion
• 4 large Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Rinse and dry all vegetables. Slice the zucchini and eggplant into half-inch thick rounds, then cut each round in half to create half-moons.

Step 3

Cut the red bell peppers into 1-inch squares, and quarter the cherry tomatoes.

Step 4

Peel the red onion and slice it into thick wedges. Smash the garlic cloves with the side of a knife to slightly crush them, but keep them whole.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and garlic cloves.

Step 6

Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, then sprinkle the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper over them.

Step 7

Toss the vegetables until they are evenly coated with oil and spices.

Step 8

Spread the vegetables out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet and place the rosemary sprigs on top.

Step 9

Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 10

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and discard the rosemary sprigs. If desired, sprinkle the roasted vegetables with grated Parmesan cheese while they are still hot.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish or as a topping for rice, pasta, or crusty bread.
