Ingredients

• 1 medium Eggplant
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Yellow squash
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 large Garlic clove

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Dice the eggplant, zucchini, and yellow squash into 1/2-inch cubes. Slice the red bell pepper into strips, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the red onion into thin wedges.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 5

While the vegetables roast, prepare the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and the minced garlic clove until well combined.

Step 6

Once the vegetables have finished roasting, transfer them to a large serving bowl. Allow to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Roughly chop the fresh basil leaves and parsley. Add the herbs to the roasted vegetables and pour the vinaigrette over the top.

Step 8

Gently toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing and herbs.

Step 9

Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled as desired. Garnish with additional fresh basil leaves if desired.
