Summer Roasted Vegetable Recipe:
My absolute favorite way to eat any vegetable is to roast them. Easy Roasted Cauliflower was the very first vegetable I fell in love with, and since then, I’ve been roasting everything and anything.
The farmers’ market was coming to the end for the summer, so I stocked up on all types of vegetables. I was looking for a new recipe to use them up, so I turned to my Vegetables on the Side Cookbook. Often times, I find a recipe that inspires me. I may not follow it exactly but it gives me a vision. This is exactly what happened for this Easy Roasted Summer Vegetable recipe.
Olive oil, salt and pepper is all it takes for sensational roasted vegetables, but this recipe has the addition of one more ingredient—shredded Parmesan cheese. Adding this 10 minutes before the vegetables are done is a home-run. Try it!

Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Arrange prepared vegetables on a sheet pan; drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Notes About Easy Roasted Vegetables:
- This is a summer vegetable recipe which means you can use up whatever you have—squash (zucchini, yellow, patty-pan), onions (red, white, green), peppers (green, red, yellow), tomatoes (cut in wedges), etc. Use your favorites.
- The addition of fresh herbs, like fresh oregano and thyme, would be yummy; add them with the cheese.
- I have a metal 9 x 13 inch pan that I dedicate to roasting vegetables, but a big sheet pan like these would also be perfect or stoneware also roasts delicious summer vegetables.
- Summer vegetable bake can be modified for as little or as much that you need to feed your family. Add more vegetables if needed or use less if you cooking for one.
- Try swapping in a different cheese in these summer roasted vegetables. Try Gruyere or Fontina cheese.
