Ingredients

• 2 medium Zucchini
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium Eggplant
• 1 large Red onion
• 250 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 50 grams Pine nuts
• 50 grams Panko breadcrumbs
• 30 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Wash and prepare the vegetables. Cut the zucchini, bell peppers, and eggplant into bite-sized pieces. Peel and cut the red onion into wedges. Leave the cherry tomatoes whole.

Step 3

Place the prepared vegetables on a large baking tray. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle with oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat everything evenly.

Step 4

Spread the vegetables out in a single layer to ensure even roasting. Place the tray in the oven and roast for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Step 5

While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the pine nut crumble. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs and cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes until they turn golden and crisp.

Step 7

Transfer the toasted breadcrumbs to a bowl and let cool slightly. Add the toasted pine nuts, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Mix well to combine.

Step 8

After 30 minutes of roasting, remove the vegetables from the oven and sprinkle the pine nut crumble evenly over the top.

Step 9

Return the tray to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes, until the crumble is golden and the vegetables are tender.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.
