Autumn Roasted Vegetables Recipe

Ingredients

Vegetables

1 Eggplant

2 Carrots

1 Sweet Potato

1 Zucchini

Other Ingredients

1 can Tomato Paste with Garlic

Salt

Black Pepper

3 cloves Garlic

2 tablespoons Olive Oil

Fresh Basil or other herbs

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Vegetables

Begin by preparing all your vegetables. You will need to slice the Eggplant, Carrots, Sweet Potato, and Zucchini into even pieces.

Ensure that the pieces are about the same size to allow for even cooking.

Step 2

Mix and Season

In a large bowl, combine the sliced vegetables. Add salt, black pepper, and minced garlic to taste.

Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated.

Step 3

Prepare the Baking Dish

Take a baking dish and lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Spread the can of tomato paste on the bottom of the dish.

Step 4

Arrange the Vegetables

Next, arrange the seasoned vegetables in a circular pattern on top of the tomato paste.

This not only looks appealing but also ensures that every piece gets the benefit of the delicious tomato flavor.

Step 5

Bake

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 6

Serve

Once baked, remove the dish and let it cool for a few minutes.

Sprinkle with fresh basil or your favorite herbs before serving for added flavor.

Servings

When it comes to serving your Baked Vegetable Medley, the possibilities are endless! 🔥 You can pair it with a hearty grain like quinoa or brown rice, which not only adds texture but also complements the flavors beautifully. Drizzle some extra olive oil before serving, and watch as the colors pop even more!

For a fun twist, consider tossing in some crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese right before serving - the creaminess balances the roasted veggies perfectly. Feeling a bit adventurous? Serve it alongside grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal that's sure to impress your friends and family! 🍽️✨ Don’t forget to garnish with fresh basil for that extra punch of flavor!
