Roasted, or baked, Mediterranean vegetables have become a popular dish. They are colourful, cheerful and delicious. They can be served as a side dish with almost anything and can also be used as ingredients for frittata or omelette. This is a typical recipe but you can add or take away ingredients as you like. Just using peppers and tomatoes works very well. You can also try using other flavours like rosemary, thyme or garlic. Experiment to find your favourite.
