Steps:
- Heat oven to 450°F. Spray 18x13-inch rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray. On sheet pan, combine zucchini, summer squash, bell pepper, onion and tomatoes. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper; toss until vegetables are coated.

OIL ROASTED SUMMER VEGETABLES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 Wash and dry vegetables, leaving stems intact. Arrange them in a shallow baking dish just large enough to hold them in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle coarse salt over all. (while it is possible to oversalt the dish, it can stand more salt than you might think. We use about 2 tbsp. Set the baking dish in the center of the over and bake until brown and slightly shriveled. Vegetables will not cook at the same rate. Zucchini and eggplant will be done in 30 minutes; potatoes can take longer. Remove individual vegetables as they become tender and arrange them on a serving plate. Cook to room temp and serve
ROASTED SUMMER VEGETABLES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Trim the ends of the zucchinis and cut them diagonally in 3/4-inch-thick slices. (The slices will seem large, but they¿ll shrink while they cook.) Cut the peppers lengthwise in 1 1/2-inch-wide slices, discarding the core. Trim off the fennel stalks and cut the bulb through the core in 1-inch wedges. (Cutting through the core keeps the pieces intact.) Peel the onion and slice it in 1/4-inch-thick rounds, leaving the slices intact.
- Place the vegetables in groups on a sheet pan. Drizzle with the olive oil, add the garlic, and toss gently to be sure the vegetables are lightly coated with oil. Spread the vegetables in one layer on 2 sheet pans. (If they¿re crowded, they¿ll steam rather than roast.) Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and place the thyme sprigs on top. Roast for 15 minutes. Turn each piece and put the pans back in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, until all the vegetables are crisp-tender. Sprinkle with extra salt and serve hot or at room temperature.
