Roasted zucchini and bell pepper is a delicious and healthy side dish that is easy to prepare and perfect for any meal. This recipe combines fresh vegetables with simple seasonings to create a flavorful and nutritious dish that can be enjoyed by everyone.

Ingredients:

2 squash
33g
1 onion
110g
2 red peppers
240g
1/4 cup olive oil
55g
1 tbsp salt
18g
1 tbsp black pepper
6g
1 tbsp garlic powder
10g
1 lemon
110g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Vegetables:
- Wash the zucchini and red bell peppers thoroughly.
- Cut the zucchini into quarter-inch thick slices or half-moons.
- Slice the onion into thin wedges.
- Remove the seeds and core from the red bell peppers, and cut them into strips or bite-sized chunks.
3. Mix Seasonings:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk until well mixed.
4. Toss Vegetables:
- Add the zucchini, onion, and red bell pepper pieces to the bowl. Toss them gently to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning mix.
5. Roast Vegetables:
- Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. If necessary, use two baking sheets to avoid overcrowding.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized at the edges. Stir the vegetables halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
6. Prepare Lemon:
- While vegetables roast, zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Cut the lemon in half and remove any seeds.
7. Finish and Serve:
- Once the vegetables are done roasting, remove them from the oven.
- Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the hot vegetables.
- Sprinkle the lemon zest over the top for added flavor.
- Toss gently to coat the vegetables with the lemon juice and zest evenly.
8. Serve:
- Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving platter. Serve them hot as a delicious and healthy side dish.

Tips:

- Ensure that the vegetables are cut into uniform pieces so they cook evenly.

- You can add other herbs like thyme, rosemary, or basil for additional flavor.

- Stir the vegetables halfway through the roasting time to ensure even cooking.

- For a touch of sweetness, add a drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving.
