Preparation
Step 1
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Put a large pot of lightly salted water on to boil.
2. Toss zucchini, bell pepper and onion with 1 tablespoon oil in a large roasting pan or a large baking sheet with sides. Season with salt and pepper. Roast the vegetables, stirring every 5 minutes, until tender and browned, 10 to 20 minutes.
