Ingredients:

1 red pepper
80g
2 zucchini
400g
1/2 cup mushrooms
120g
1 onion
160g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 tbsp vinegar
30g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1.50 cups cherry tomatoes
270g
1 cup green beans
230g
2 tbsp pine nuts
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Wash all the vegetables thoroughly.
- Cut the red pepper into strips.
- Slice the zucchini into rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Quarter the mushrooms.
- Peel and slice the onion.
3. Roast the Vegetables:
- Place the red pepper, zucchini, mushrooms, and onion on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and golden, stirring halfway through.
4. Prepare the Garlic and Dressing:
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic and vinegar to create a simple vinaigrette dressing.
5. Cook the Green Beans:
- While the vegetables are roasting, bring a pot of water to a boil.
- Add green beans and cook for 4-5 minutes, until crisp-tender.
- Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and retain their color. Drain again after a few minutes and set aside.
6. Prepare the Cherry Tomatoes:
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
7. Toast the Pine Nuts:
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts, stirring frequently until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
8. Combine the Salad:
- In a large serving bowl, combine the roasted vegetables, cooked green beans, cherry tomatoes, and toasted pine nuts.
- Pour the garlic-vinegar dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
9. Serve:
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to blend the flavors further before serving.

Tips:

- Ensure your vegetables are evenly cut to the same size for consistent roasting.

- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to get the perfect roast on your vegetables.

- Toss the vegetables in olive oil and season with salt and pepper before roasting to enhance their flavor.

- Roast the vegetables for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

- Allow the roasted vegetables to cool slightly before combining them with the other ingredients.

- Toast the pine nuts in a dry pan over medium heat for a few minutes until golden and fragrant for added crunch and flavor.

- Consider adding a handful of fresh herbs like basil or parsley for an extra burst of flavor.
