Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large zucchini, sliced into rounds
  • 1 large eggplant, cut into cubes
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 200 g (1 cup) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or rosemary)
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or basil, chopped (for garnish)
  • Crumbled feta cheese (optional for serving)
  • A squeeze of fresh lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven:

  • Set your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the vegetables:

  • In a large bowl, combine zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, onion, and cherry tomatoes.
  • Add olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and black pepper.
  • Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.

3. Roast the vegetables:

  • Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

4. Finish and serve:

  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or basil, crumbled feta (if using), and a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
  • Serve warm as a side dish or over quinoa, couscous, or pasta for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Add olives or capers for a true Mediterranean flair.
  • Swap out veggies depending on what’s in season—mushrooms, carrots, or asparagus work great.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat in the oven for best texture.
