One of the easiest ways to enjoy the harvest is by roasting fresh vegetables. The oven caramelizes their natural sugars, creating rich flavor without complicated ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 2 zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 2 summer squash, sliced into half-moons
  • 2 bell peppers, cut into chunks
  • 1 onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Cut all the vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning until evenly coated.
  4. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer, making sure the pieces aren't crowded.
  5. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and lightly caramelized at the edges.

Serve immediately, or use leftovers in pasta, wraps, or salads the next day.
