Ingredients

  • 8 oz waxy baby potatoes
  • 8 oz roma tomatoes any small, sweet tomato will do as a substitute
  • 2 zucchinis cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 red bell peppers cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 medium eggplants cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 head of garlic broken into cloves, peeled
  • cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (sub dried if necessary)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano (sub dried if necessary)
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C), and lightly oil a large roasting pan or ceramic baking dish.
  • Place all of the veggies and garlic into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil, and add the herbs. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Make sure everything is well coated with oil for the perfect roast and caramelization.
  • Take out the potatoes and place them on the roasting pan. Roast for 10 minutes, then remove the pan from the oven and add the remaining veggies and garlic. Return to roast for another 20-25 minutes, until all of the vegetables are tender to the press of a fork. (Some charred black bits are ok!).
  • Remove from oven and serve immediately. You can grate some fresh parmesan or Manchego cheese on top too for even more flavor!

Notes

  • Spread your veggies out of a large baking sheet for the best results. I like baking directly on the sheet, but if you must use parchment paper. 
  • Never cover your vegetables! This will steam them and make them soggy.
  • Resist the urge to move them around while cooking. We want them to stick and caramelize just a bit. 
  • Taste and add more sea salt before serving if necessary. 
  • For a touch of Spanish flavor add a pinch of pimentón de la Vera (smoked Spanish paprika) right before serving.
