Metric - US Standard

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C/400°F .

  • Start by adding the sliced courgettes, peppers, sliced red onion and diced tomatoes to 2 baking trays.
  • Spread the vegetables in a single layer on each baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd the trays to allow even roasting.
  • Pour over 3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil between the trays and season the vegetables with, dried Italian herbs, salt and pepper. Mix together to incorporate.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelised. You may want to stir the vegetables halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
  • Prepare your basil oil by adding a handful of fresh basil, the remaining 3 tbsp of extra virgin olive and some salt and pepper to food processor. Blend until smooth and taste for seasoning.
  • Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and serve with a drizzle of basil oil. If you’re serving as a main, I love to have this with some white fish, cooked in the airfryer for 5 minutes or until cooked through.

Notes

  • Ensure uniform size of vegetables for even roasting; this prevents some pieces from being over or undercooked.
  • Flip the vegetables 1-2 times during cooking to promote even caramelisation on both sides, enhancing flavor.
  • Add salt and Italian seasoning before roasting to allow flavours to meld, tasting and adjusting after cooking if necessary.
  • Provide ample space between vegetables on 2 baking sheets to prevent steaming and encourage delicious caramelisation.
