Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 large eggplant
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and dry the zucchini and eggplant. Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds and the eggplant into 1/2-inch cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, eggplant, and cherry tomatoes. Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, and then add them to the bowl.
Strip the leaves from the rosemary sprigs and chop them finely. Add the rosemary, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes to the vegetable mixture. Toss everything well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren’t overcrowded (this helps them roast rather than steam).
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the zucchini and eggplant are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven and allow the medley to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or over cooked quinoa, rice, or couscous for a hearty vegetarian main course.
