Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 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.
- 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.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic and vinegar to create a simple vinaigrette dressing.
- 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.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
