ROASTED SUMMER VEGETABLES RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Put the onion, garlic, aubergines, courgettes, red peppers and tomatoes into 2 large roasting dishes. Drizzle over 4 tbsp oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast for 40 minutes.
• Stir the cannellini beans into the roasted veg, then roast for 5 minutes more. Scatter the crumbled goat’s cheese over the top, then drizzle over the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and the balsamic vinegar at the table. Sprinkle with the fresh basil leaves, then serve with hunks of good quality crusty bread.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Toss the eggplant, bell peppers, onion, and garlic with the olive oil, salt, and pepper on a large sheet pan. Roast for 40 minutes, until browned, turning once with a spatula.
• Meanwhile, cook the orzo in boiling salted water for 7 to 9 minutes, until tender. Drain and transfer to a large serving bowl. Add the roasted vegetables to the pasta, scraping all the liquid and seasonings from the roasting pan into the pasta bowl.
• For the dressing, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper and pour on the pasta and vegetables. Let cool to room temperature, then add the scallions, pignolis, feta, and basil. Check the seasonings, and serve at room temperature.
