Ingredients
- Zucchini
- Bell Peppers
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Red Onion
- Cannellini Beans
- Olive Oil
- Dried Herbs (Thyme, Oregano)
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Your Veggies: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it warms up, wash all your vegetables thoroughly. Chop the zucchini into thick half-moons, slice the bell peppers into strips, halve the cherry tomatoes, and cut the red onion into wedges. Toss them all in a large bowl along with the cannellini beans.
- Step 2: Season to Perfection: Add a generous drizzle of olive oil over your chopped veggies and beans. Sprinkle dried thyme and oregano across the mixture like confetti at a celebration. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Then toss everything together until every piece is coated in that luscious oil and spice blend.
- Step 3: Spread It Out: Take out a large baking tray or sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the seasoned vegetable mixture evenly across it in a single layer. This ensures even roasting—nobody likes soggy veggies! Now it’s time to send them off to roast in that preheated oven.
- Step 4: Roast Away!: Allow your rustic bake to roast for about 25-30 minutes or until those lovely veggies are tender and slightly golden around the edges. Halfway through cooking, give them a gentle stir so they can brown evenly—because we’re aiming for perfectly crispy bits here!
- Step 5: Serve It Up!: Your Rustic Roasted Vegetable Bake with Cannellini Beans is now ready to shine on your dinner table! Serve it warm alongside crusty bread or atop quinoa for an extra hearty meal. Don’t forget to sprinkle some fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving for an added zing!
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store any leftover Rustic Roasted Vegetable Bake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- To reheat, simply place the vegetable bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through, to help retain its crispy texture.
- This dish pairs beautifully with crusty bread or can be served over a bed of fluffy quinoa for a satisfying and nutritious meal; don't forget to add a sprinkle of fresh herbs for an extra pop of flavor!
- For an extra depth of flavor, marinate the cannellini beans in olive oil and herbs for at least 30 minutes before adding them to your vegetable mix—this will infuse them with delightful taste as they roast.
