• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Wash the eggplant, aubergine, and bell peppers. Cut the eggplant and aubergine into 1-inch cubes. Remove the stems and seeds from the bell peppers and cut them into 1-inch pieces.

Step 3

Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggplant, aubergine, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and season with dried oregano, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the vegetable mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure the pieces are not overcrowded.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving bowl.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top and drizzle with lemon juice for added freshness.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it with crusty bread or as a topping for grain bowls.
