Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized Zucchini
• 1 medium-sized Eggplant
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper
• 1 large Red onion
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 4 whole Garlic cloves
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 4 whole Fresh thyme sprigs
• 2 whole Fresh rosemary sprigs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash all the vegetables thoroughly under cold water.

Step 3

Cut the zucchini, eggplant, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion into roughly 1-inch chunks. Try to keep the pieces similar in size to ensure even roasting.

Step 4

Add the cherry tomatoes and whole garlic cloves to the chopped vegetables and transfer everything to a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Drizzle the vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the salt, black pepper, and toss well to evenly coat.

Step 6

Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the thyme and rosemary sprigs evenly over the top.

Step 7

Roast the vegetables for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 8

While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the dressing: In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. Heat over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through but not boiling.

Step 9

Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and discard the thyme and rosemary sprigs.

Step 10

Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving dish and drizzle with the warm balsamic and olive oil dressing.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your Roasted French Vegetables in Hot Balsamic and Olive Oil Dressing!
