Roasted Vegetables Recipe
The best way to add new flavors to plain old sandwiches is to add roasted vegetables. But if you have never roasted vegetables before it may sound a little intimidating. Not to worry, most roasted vegetable recipes are very easy to make.
First thing you need to choose is what vegetables to use. If you’re having a hard time figuring out what goes well together then think about the stuff you’ve eaten. Onions & peppers go great on sausage sandwiches but did you know that they’ll liven up a turkey sandwich too? How about mushrooms and onions. You’ve probably had that on a steak sandwich but they work great on panini too. Just pick what you like and go with that.
If you want to experiment a little bit, then why not try this roasted vegetable recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 Large Red Onion
- 3 Cloves of Garlic
- 3 Red Bell Peppers
- 1 Eggplant (1/2 pound)
- 1 Yellow Squash (1/2 pound)
- 1 Zucchini (1/2 pound)
- 1 teaspoon Thyme
- 1 tablespoon Basil
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper
Cut up all the vegetables into chunks or slices of relatively the same size. This is important because you want them to cook evenly. Place the pieces in a large bowl and add the olive oil and the herbs. You want a nice coating of olive oil so use at least a quarter of a cup. Then mix up the vegetables and place them on a cookie sheet.
Roasted the vegetables at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Occasionally stir them up maybe three time total while they’re cooking. If you have a BBQ, this is a perfect recipe for using a BBQ Wok.
Using a roasted vegetables recipe like this one is great to do on the weekend and then use through the week on your panini sandwiches. Even a plain ham or turkey panini will turn into something special with these vegetables.
