Easy Mediterranean Roast Vegetables
These roasted vegetables are like the cool kids at the culinary class—everyone wants to hang out with them! Crisp, seasoned, and bursting with flavor, they’ll make even your picky eater friends think twice.
Ingredients:
- 2 zucchinis, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 eggplant, chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs (or the whole herb garden if you’re feeling ambitious)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional, but live your best life and use it!)
Instructions:
- First, preheat your oven to a sizzling 425°F (220°C). If your oven isn’t preheated, it’s just like a party with no music—really boring.
- In a large bowl, toss your chopped vegetables together like they’re at a mixer! Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle the dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix it up like you’re at a dance-off.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables on a baking sheet. Make sure they’re in a single layer; we don’t want them squished together like they’re in a crowded subway car!
- Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes. Toss them around halfway through for even roasting. You want them golden brown and slightly caramelized—like they’ve just come back from a rejuvenating spa retreat.
- Once they’re done roasting, take them out and let them cool for a second. Garnish with fresh basil if you’d like to be fancy—because who doesn’t love a little splash of elegance?
Now, serve those gorgeous veggies with a side of your favorite protein or toss them into a salad for a Mediterranean twist that’ll make everyone around you wonder how you became a chef overnight. Get ready to impress your taste buds—or at least your friends—and enjoy!
