Ingredients

• 1 large Sweet potato
• 1 large Beet
• 1 large Zucchini
• 1 large Yellow squash
• 1 medium Eggplant
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare two large baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and peel the sweet potato and beet. Slice the sweet potato, beet, zucchini, yellow squash, and eggplant into 1/4-inch-thick rounds, keeping each vegetable separate for easier assembly and even cooking.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning oil.

Step 4

Arrange the vegetable rounds on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are in a single layer and not overlapping.

Step 5

Using a pastry brush or spoon, evenly brush the seasoning oil onto both sides of each vegetable round.

Step 6

Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through the cooking time. The vegetables should be tender and lightly browned around the edges.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the vegetables cool slightly before assembling.

Step 8

To assemble, arrange the roasted rounds on a platter or individual plates in a rainbow pattern: start with the beet slices (red), followed by sweet potato (orange), yellow squash (yellow), zucchini (green), and eggplant (purple).

Step 9

Garnish the assembled Rainbow Rounds with freshly chopped parsley for an added pop of color and flavor.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature as a healthy appetizer, snack, or side dish. Enjoy!
