Ingredients

1 medium zucchini, cut in half lengthwise and into 1/2-inch-thick half-moons
2 baby eggplants or 1 Japanese eggplant (about 6 ounces total), cut in half lengthwise and cut across into 1/2-inch thick half-moons
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
4 medium shallots, peeled and cut in half lengthwise
1 red, yellow, or green bell pepper, seeds and ribs removed, cut into 1/2-inch strips
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Fold four 18-inch lengths of parchment paper in half, cut into a half-heart shape, and open. In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, eggplants, tomatoes, shallots, bell pepper, garlic, thyme, and parsley. Divide the vegetable mixture among the lengths of parchment, arranging on one half of each parchment heart near the crease. Drizzle the oil over the vegetables, and add salt and pepper. Fold the other half of the parchment over the ingredients. Make small overlapping folds to seal the edges, starting at the top of the heart. Two inches from the end, twist parchment twice, gently but firmly, to seal. Repeat.
Place the packets on a rimmed baking sheet or in a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron), and bake 25 minutes or until fully puffed. Remove from the oven, and open the packet carefully. Transfer the vegetables to a serving plate, and spoon the cooking liquid over if desired.

ROASTED MEDITERRANEAN VEGETABLES

Roasted Mediterranean Vegetables image

A lovely, filling dish from my mom. I believe she got it from a market. You can use any color bell peppers - I like to use two different colors. I usually leave the skins on the potatoes and eggplant, but feel free to peel them before making the recipe, if that is your preference :)
