Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Cut the eggplant, zucchini, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper into bite-sized chunks and place them on a large baking sheet.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the baking sheet.
Peel and slice the red onion into thin wedges and add it to the baking sheet.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Drizzle the vegetables with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything thoroughly to coat the vegetables evenly.
Spread the vegetables out in an even layer and roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, tossing halfway through to ensure even cooking.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the dressing by whisking together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl.
Once the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for 5–10 minutes.
In a large serving bowl, place the mixed salad greens.
Top the salad greens with the roasted vegetables.
Drizzle the dressing over the top and gently toss to combine.
Optionally, sprinkle the salad with crumbled feta cheese and garnish with fresh basil leaves for extra flavor.
Serve immediately or at room temperature. Enjoy!
