📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Trim and dice the eggplant, zucchini, and yellow squash into roughly 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

3. Slice the red and yellow bell peppers into strips about 1/2 inch wide, and quarter the Roma tomatoes. Add them to the bowl with the other vegetables.

4. Peel and slice the red onion into thin wedges, and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the bowl as well.

5. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, then sprinkle with dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until evenly coated.

6. Spread the seasoned vegetables out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.

7. Bake the vegetables in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

8. Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a serving dish.

9. Garnish with fresh basil leaves just before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or over crusty bread, rice, or pasta for a hearty meal.
