Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 medium yellow summer squash, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 pound fresh asparagus, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
While oven is pre-heating, prepare all vegetables by cutting into bite-sized pieces.
Then, place the zucchini, squash, bell peppers, asparagus, and red onion in a large roasting pan, and toss with the olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Spread vegetables in a single layer on a baking pan.
Roast in oven for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are lightly browned and tender.
Cook's Note: While fresh veggies are always best, if you're craving these summertime vegetables out of season, try opting for flash frozen vegetables. They may not be as crisp once thawed, but they tend to hold on to their nutritional value better than produce that has been harvested and imported out of season.
