Description:
I love roasted or grilled vegetables, and there's a variety of ways you can prepare them or the sauce drizzled onto them.
Preparation time is about 20 minutes, while cooking time is approximately 35 minutes. Quick enough for a veggie dish.
Ingredients:
3 potatoes, cut into wedges
3 red onions, quartered
2 courgettes (aka zucchini), thickly sliced
2 yellow peppers/capsicums, thickly sliced
4 tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
parmesan shavings (optional)
dressing:
3 tablespoons EVOO
2 tablespoons clear honey
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
juice and finely grated zest (rind) of 1/2 lemon
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees Centigrade. Place all veggies in a shallow roasting tin, drizzle with oil and season. Shake tray gently to coat the vegetables. Bake for 35 minutes or until vegetables are lightly browned and tender.
2. In a small bowl, combine all dressing ingredients. Pour over the roasted vegetables, tossing gently to coat. Serve topped with parmesan shavings if prefered.
if I grill, I usually soak the bamboo skewers in water for some time before using them...
ReplyDeletethen for the dressing (which actually I make use of as a marinade), what I use are olive oil, lemoncito juice (Philipppine lemon aka calamansi), and slightly crushed dried rosemary leaves (I love the smell of rosemary)...along with salt and pepper to taste...and maybe a dash of some native vinegar (but not really much into it)
experiment with ratio and proportion until you get the taste that you prefer :-)
Buti na lang roasted, i.e. dumaan sa apoy kahit papano.
ReplyDeleteNice, healthy meal. Sweet onions will enhance the flavor of your baked dish too.
ReplyDeleteIf grilled, I'd like to add sliced eggplant in a skewer too. Thanks for your recipe!
If you can't grill for one reason or another, try baking the veggies. Works just as well. Just brush the veggies with olive oil.
ReplyDeletefor the recipe above, it is using the oven for baking these veggies...
ReplyDeletein my home here in Manila, I only have an oven toaster..so its either that and in small amounts..or I just bring out my grill pan and place on top of the electric stove...
this is one reason why I miss being in Cebu..there its just easy to holler for charcoal briquettes and voila..minutes later...yummy and fragrant veggies na!
eh? you don't like eating veggies that do not go through heat?
ReplyDeletepano yung cucumber salad? achara? ampalaya salad?
Yuck!
ReplyDeleteif I grill, I usually line up red and green and yellow (for the color) pepper, courgettes, eggplant, onions, tomatoes...
ReplyDeleteonions are sweet pag caramelized konti...
oy, I will have you know, its delicious! you can squeeze the bitter juice out of it naman..and mixed with sliced onions, ginger, and whatever else my mom decides at the moment to put into it (along with native vinegar which is quite spicy)..its a treat!
ReplyDeleteits the same recipe I think for what we do with the seaweeds (lato and guso) salad...yum!
Double yuck!
ReplyDeleteaha! you'vve never eaten a good roasted eggplant salad! a key ingredient is the native vinegar...
ReplyDeleteThe only eggplant I eat is the one with scrambled eggs, and never with vinegar (native or imported).
ReplyDeleteeggplant with scrambled eggs? now that I've never had...how interesting..pano naman ginawa? boiled ang eggplant before its added with scrambled eggs? prepared separately?
ReplyDeleteIf you like veggies without meat, here's one for you using your ingredients plus mushroom: zucchini stuffed with mushroom. You sauté your mushrooms with onions and garlic until brown, stuff your zucchini with it, and bake it to about 450 to 500 and with a slice of baguette, it's almost a meal to itself.
ReplyDeleteAy wala na sab nibasa sa tibuok posting!
ReplyDeletemwahahaha! buking si Mommy Loy...multi-task siguro na pod ka ...
ReplyDeleteOf all the Filipino dishes, my wife loves fried eggplant the most to the point of her making it into perfection.
ReplyDeleteEggplant is grilled to remove the outer skin, then dipped into eggs and then fried. With sweet and sour sauce, it sure is a winner.
thanks for the recipe Mar...when I get better, I am going back to the grocery to stock up on the zucchini and try this out..this is what I like, easy to make meals!
ReplyDeleteI see! now that was shortsighted of me...yun pala...eggplant omelet...from salad kc to eggplant na may scrambled eggs, my imagination got used up and I thought of them as separate...hehehe...sorry Chito and thanks Mar!
ReplyDeleteI *heart* eggplant omelet! but I ask my mom to put in some tinadtad..giniling yata tawag dito....uhmm...ground beef or pork..ayan :-)
