Roasting veggies are one of my favorite weeknight meals. You may be wondering why? It helps me cook a boatload of veggies at once, and then, I can eat them the next day as leftovers with my next meal. Yum! This week I made roasted eggplant, zucchini, and tomatoes. This recipe is ideal for Meatless Mondays!
When roasting eggplants and zucchini in the oven, it's important to sweat them. This process helps them dry out more, resulting in a more crispy roasted vegetable.
