• Salt and pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Cooking Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Whisk the balsamic glaze and the olive oil in a bowl large enough to hold all the vegetables. Add the garlic, oregano, basil, and salt and pepper to taste and whisk again.

Toss all the vegetables into the bowl with the dressing and let them sit for about 30 minutes, mixing every once in a while. Distribute them into 2 baking dishes and roast for about 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove and serve with the extra virgin olive oil and the lemon breadcrumbs on top or parmesan cheese
