Description

A medley of roasted vegetables marinated in a tangy vinaigrette, this Roasted Vegetable Antipasto is a vibrant and healthy appetizer or side dish bursting with Mediterranean flavors. Perfect with crusty bread, as part of a charcuterie board, or as a topping for salads and sandwiches, this dish is easy to make, meal-prep-friendly, and naturally gluten-free.


Ingredients

For the Roasted Vegetables:

  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into rounds
  • 1 small eggplant, diced
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Vinaigrette:

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Garnishes:

  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Shaved Parmesan cheese
  • Toasted pine nuts

Instructions

  • Preheat & Prep: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roast the Vegetables: Arrange bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, red onion, and cherry tomatoes on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
  • Bake: Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Make the Vinaigrette: While the vegetables roast, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
  • Toss & Serve: Let the roasted vegetables cool slightly, then transfer them to a bowl and toss with the vinaigrette. Garnish with fresh basil, Parmesan, or pine nuts. Serve at room temperature.

Notes

  • For a smoky flavor, grill the vegetables instead of roasting.
  • To prevent mushiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
