The combination of roasted vegetables such as tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, and onions, with herbs like oregano, thyme, and rosemary, creates a dish that is bursting with Mediterranean flavors. The roasting process caramelizes the vegetables, intensifying their natural sweetness and creating a slightly smoky flavor. Roasting Mediterranean vegetables is a simple and easy way to enjoy the flavors of the Mediterranean diet.

ROASTED MEDITERRANEAN VEGETABLES
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 :)

HERB-ROASTED MEDITERRANEAN VEGETABLES
This is one of my favorites from "Culinary Journey to the Mediterranean." It is very easy to make and open to adaptation. Don't skip the fresh Parmesan cheese... it makes the dish! Eggplant, baby carrots, red onion or shallots, and zucchini are my personal favorites for this.

HEALTHY COUSCOUS WITH ROASTED MEDITERRANEAN VEGETABLES (WW)
Compromising on calories shouldn't mean compromising on taste. So I came up with this dish that can be a complete meal or served as a side with lean meat. If you have them available, you could add fresh herbs- rosemary or basil would compliment the other flavours nicely. Serves 4 as a side or 2 as a lunch. By my calculations, this recipe contains a total of 11 1/2 points (my book is a few years old though!)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
- Wash, and prep the vegetables.
- Place the vegetables in one layer on several well greased cookie sheets.
- (You might want to use disposable cookie sheets to make the clean up easier, since those caramelized juices do stick to the pans).
- Liberally brush the vegetables with oil and season with salt.
- Roast on the upper rack of the oven until crisp-tender and some of the edges begin to char, about 15 minutes.
- The vegetables will not all be done at the same time, so watch each pan carefully and take out those that are in danger of blackening too much.
- Remove the vegetables to a large serving platter and arrange attractively.
- While the vegetables are still warm drizzle on about 1/4-1/2 cup vinaigrette.
- Then sprinkle on some salt and pepper and red pepper flakes, the garlic, sun dried tomatoes and finally the basil.
- This should be served at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use fresh, seasonal vegetables. Fresh vegetables have more flavor and nutrients than vegetables that have been stored for a long time.
- Cut vegetables into even-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Toss vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them brown and caramelize.
- Roast vegetables at a high temperature. This will help them caramelize and develop a slightly crispy texture.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If the vegetables are too crowded, they will not cook evenly.
- Roast vegetables until they are tender and slightly browned. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of vegetable.
- Serve roasted vegetables immediately. They are best when they are fresh out of the oven.
