👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:
Prepare Vegetables: Cut the eggplants, bell peppers, zucchini, and onion into even-thickness slices for uniform cooking.
Season: In a large bowl, toss the cut vegetables with olive oil, sliced garlic, chopped rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper. Ensure each vegetable piece is well-coated with the seasoning.
Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
Roast: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet, maintaining some space between them for even heat distribution. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are golden brown and crispy.
Garnish: Once roasted, remove the vegetables from the oven and optionally garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
👉🏻✨TIPS
During roasting, adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the vegetables and the oven's power to prevent burning.
Using olive oil as a seasoning not only adds flavor but also keeps the vegetables moist, preventing them from drying out during roasting.
Chopped rosemary and sliced garlic add a rich aroma to the vegetables, making them essential seasonings for Italian Roasted Vegetables.
