- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic
- 10 leaves fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly.
Cut the red bell peppers into strips, about 1 inch wide.
Slice the zucchini and eggplant into rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Halve the cherry tomatoes.
Peel the red onion, cut it in half, and slice into thin wedges.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and cut into 2-inch pieces.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large bowl, combine all the prepared vegetables.
Drizzle the vegetables with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Add the minced garlic, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the oil, vinegar, and seasonings.
Spread the vegetable mixture out evenly on a large baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
While the vegetables are roasting, roughly chop the fresh basil leaves.
Once the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, remove from the oven.
