Caramelized Roasted Vegetables

Nov 18th, 2008 Posted in Vegetables | Comments Off

Ingredients

  • 1 medium eggplant, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 2 large baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1 head garlic, unpeeled and broken into cloves
  • 2 medium yellow onions, peeled and cut into 4 wedges each
  • 1 fennel bulb, trimmed and sliced into wedges
  • 2 medium-large red bell peppers, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1/2 cup olive oil, divided
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 fresh rosemary sprigs or 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
  • 2 medium zucchini cut into 1-inch chunks



Directions

* Heat oven to 400 degrees.

* While you are cutting up the other vegetables, sprinkle the eggplant cubes well with salt and place them in a colander to drain for 30 minutes. Pat the cubes dry with paper towels.

* Distribute all the vegetables except the zucchini evenly among two large-rimmed baking sheets. Drizzle each sheet with 1/4 cup olive oil, salt and pepper and half the rosemary. Mix well with your hands until all the vegetables are coated and then arrange in a single layer. Roast, shaking pans every 15 minutes, until vegetables are brown and tender, about 45 minutes. Switch the pans halfway through the roasting process for even browning.

* About 20 minutes before the vegetables are done, distribute the zucchini chunks among the baking sheets. Serve roasted vegetables warm or at room temperature.
