Love this easy one-tray bake of mixed vegetables which becomes a flavoursome accompaniment to grilled meat or fish. Or the basis of a heartier salad.

- 4 (300g) small finger eggplants
- 4 (200g) cherry or egg tomatoes
- 1 each red and yellow capsicum (200g each)

Directions
1. Pre-heat oven to moderately-hot 200 C, utilising the top oven grilling element if available.
2. Prepare vegetables - trim ends from zucchini and eggplant and cut in half lengthwise; cut egg tomatoes into quarters; trim top and bottom from capsicum, remove seeds and inner membranes and cut flesh into wide sections; peel and slice onion.
3. Line a large roasting pan 30 x 40 cm with baking paper. Alternatively brush or spray with oil. Arrange prepared vegetables in a layer and drizzle over the olive oil.
4. Sprinkle with pepper. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until just browned and eggplants are starting to soften, shaking the pan once or twice to prevent sticking. To serve, arrange on a platter and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Variations
- Pile cooked vegetables onto 4-6 thick slices of crusty bread (which have been lightly toasted) and cover with slices of mozzarella cheese. Return to oven and bake for 5-7 minutes or until cheese melts and becomes runny.
- This recipe can also be cooked on the barbecue or under a hot griller.
