Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly to ensure they roast rather than steam.
- Chop the zucchini, eggplant, and bell peppers into uniform 1-inch pieces.
- Cut the red onion into thick wedges and leave the garlic cloves whole in their skins.
Seasoning
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, eggplant, peppers, and onions.
- Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Toss everything together with your hands or a large spoon until every piece is evenly coated.
Roasting
- Spread the seasoned vegetables across the two baking sheets in a single layer, ensuring they aren't overcrowded.
- Tuck the rosemary sprigs and whole garlic cloves among the vegetables.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove and gently toss with a spatula.
- Add the cherry tomatoes and Kalamata olives to the trays and roast for another 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender and charred at the edges.
Finishing
- Remove the trays from the oven and discard the rosemary sprigs.
- Squeeze the roasted garlic out of its skin and mash it back into the vegetables if desired.
- While still hot, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.
