Ingredients

  • Assorted vegetables of your choice
  • vidalia onion, sliced 1/2 inch thick
  • eggplant, sliced about 1/2 inch thick
  • bell pepper, quartered
  • portabella mushroom, halved
  • zucchini, halved
  • fennel, quartered
  • baby artichoke, prepped and halved
  • 1/2 cup olive oil, more to tates
  • your favorite vinaigrette
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 bunch fresh basil
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, minced
  • salt and pepper
  • red pepper flakes

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
  • Wash, and prep the vegetables.
  • Place the vegetables in one layer on several well greased cookie sheets.
  • (You might want to use disposable cookie sheets to make the clean up easier, since those caramelized juices do stick to the pans).
  • Liberally brush the vegetables with oil and season with salt.
  • Roast on the upper rack of the oven until crisp-tender and some of the edges begin to char, about 15 minutes.
  • The vegetables will not all be done at the same time, so watch each pan carefully and take out those that are in danger of blackening too much.
  • Remove the vegetables to a large serving platter and arrange attractively.
  • While the vegetables are still warm drizzle on about 1/4-1/2 cup vinaigrette.
  • Then sprinkle on some salt and pepper and red pepper flakes, the garlic, sun dried tomatoes and finally the basil.
  • This should be served at room temperature.
