Roasted Summer Vegetable Platter
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon salt-free seasoning (such as Spike or Mrs. Dash)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 long Japanese eggplants (about 1 pound), sliced (see Note)
- 1/2 medium zucchini, sliced
- 1/2 medium yellow summer squash, sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into rings
- 1 medium red bell pepper, cut to match green pepper
- 1/3 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, cut into strips, plus 1 tablespoon of their oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 2 to 3 ounces mixed baby greens
- Preheat the oven to 450F.
- Line a roasting pan with foil.
- Combine the ingredients for the marinade in a small bowl and stir together.
- Combine the eggplants, squashes, and peppers in a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the marinade over them and toss.
- Transfer the vegetables with the marinade to the lined pan.
- Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring after the first 10 minutes and then every 5 minutes thereafter, until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and transfer back into the mixing bowl.
- Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and their oil.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Line a large platter with the baby greens.
- Arrange the roasted vegetables over them.
- Serve at once, or let cool to room temperature before serving.
- For a summer meal, make a quick cool soup that requires little hands-on time while the vegetables are roasting.
- Two good ones to go with this are Curried Cashew and Green Pea Soup (page 28) and Cool White Bean and Cucumber Soup (page 38).
- Serve the meal with ripe summer tomatoes and fresh bread.
- Roast a batch of Teriyaki Tofu Steaks (page 62) or Cornmeal-Crusted Tofu (page 62) in the oven while the vegetables are roasting.
- Add some cherry tomatoes and baby carrots to each plate and, if you like, some corn on the cob as well.
