Recipe Notes
- Prepare in advance – You can easily prepare this dish early on and then just pop it in the oven before serving.
- Cut the vegetables the same size – To ensure even cooking, it’s recommended to cut the vegetables as close in size as possible.
- Remember to stir at the halfway point – After the vegetables have been cooking for about 20 minutes, give them a good stir. It’s really important to turn over the garlic as this point otherwise it may dry out.
Substitutions
- Bell peppers – I used red, green and yellow bell peppers for this dish. You could use either of the colours. Alternatively you could use Italian green peppers or sweet mini peppers.
- Zucchini – A great alternative to zucchini would be eggplant for this dish.
- Tomatoes – I used heriloom tomatoes for this dish. Any kind of ripe tomato would work well including cherry or grape tomatoes.
