Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Sweet potato
- 1 large Beet
- 1 large Zucchini
- 1 large Yellow squash
- 1 medium Eggplant
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare two large baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the sweet potato and beet. Slice the sweet potato, beet, zucchini, yellow squash, and eggplant into 1/4-inch-thick rounds, keeping each vegetable separate for easier assembly and even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning oil.
Arrange the vegetable rounds on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are in a single layer and not overlapping.
Using a pastry brush or spoon, evenly brush the seasoning oil onto both sides of each vegetable round.
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through the cooking time. The vegetables should be tender and lightly browned around the edges.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the vegetables cool slightly before assembling.
To assemble, arrange the roasted rounds on a platter or individual plates in a rainbow pattern: start with the beet slices (red), followed by sweet potato (orange), yellow squash (yellow), zucchini (green), and eggplant (purple).
Garnish the assembled Rainbow Rounds with freshly chopped parsley for an added pop of color and flavor.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a healthy appetizer, snack, or side dish. Enjoy!
