Ingredients
- 1 eggplant small
- 1 zucchini small
- 1 red onion small
- 1 red bell pepper small
- 8 ounces mushrooms small
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lemon juiced
- 4-6 sprigs fresh oregano
- 6-8 cloves fresh garlic chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Prep Roasted Vegetables
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Cut the eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper and onion into about 1 inch pieces. If using larger mushrooms slice them in half or quarters so they are close in size to the other vegetables.
- For sandwiches slice the vegetables in ¼ inch slices.
- Place the veggies in a bowl, squeeze the lemon juice over the vegetables and add the olive oil, garlic and oregano. Toss to coat all the veggies.
Cook Oven Method
- Spread out on a baking sheet.
- Place into oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring at least once. Vegetables will be tender and slightly browned when ready to eat.
Cook Air Fryer Method
- Add the roasted vegetables to the air fryer filing up the basket no more than half full. Cook at 350° F for 10-15 minutes depending on how done you prefer your veggies. Repeat to finish cooking the remaining vegetables if you weren’t able to cook them in one batch.
Notes
Expert Tips for Mediterranean Roasted Vegetables:
Don’t crowd the vegetables on the baking pan. When roasting in the oven, the vegetables need space around them so the water they release during cooking can evaporate more easily. When you crowd the veggies, they turn out soggy and also take longer to cook.
Preheat the oven to save time cooking the vegetables.
For more crispy browned edges, move the rack in the oven closer to the heat source.
If making air fryer roasted vegetables, don’t overfill the basket and be sure to move the vegetables around every five minutes.
