Ingredients

• 2 large Eggplant
• 2 large Red bell peppers
• 2 large Yellow bell peppers
• 3 medium Tomatoes
• 2 medium Onions
• 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Wash and dry all the vegetables. Leave the eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, and onions whole with their skins on.

Step 3

Place the eggplants, bell peppers, tomatoes, and onions on the prepared baking sheet. Roast them for 40-45 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking, until the skins are blistered and the vegetables are soft.

Step 4

Remove the vegetables from the oven and allow them to cool slightly until they can be handled. Peel away the skins from the eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, and onions. Trim off the stems and seeds from the peppers.

Step 5

Slice the roasted vegetables into long strips or bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a serving platter.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a dressing.

Step 7

Drizzle the dressing over the roasted vegetables, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Step 9

Serve the escalivada at room temperature as a side dish or salad. It pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or as a topping for grilled meats or fish.
