Roasted Summer Vegetables
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1 red bell pepper, preferably Holland
- 1 yellow or orange bell pepper, preferably Holland
- 1 fennel bulb
- 1 small red onion
- 2 tablespoons good olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Trim the ends of the zucchinis and cut them diagonally in 3/4-inch-thick slices.
- (The slices will seem large, but theyll shrink while they cook.)
- Cut the peppers lengthwise in 1 1/2-inch-wide slices, discarding the core.
- Trim off the fennel stalks and cut the bulb through the core in 1-inch wedges.
- (Cutting through the core keeps the pieces intact.)
- Peel the onion and slice it in 1/4-inch-thick rounds, leaving the slices intact.
- Place the vegetables in groups on a sheet pan.
- Drizzle with the olive oil, add the garlic, and toss gently to be sure the vegetables are lightly coated with oil.
- Spread the vegetables in one layer on 2 sheet pans.
- (If theyre crowded, theyll steam rather than roast.)
- Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and place the thyme sprigs on top.
- Roast for 15 minutes.
- Turn each piece and put the pans back in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, until all the vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Sprinkle with extra salt and serve hot or at room temperature.
