- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Sea or Kosher salt to taste
- ¼ cup chopped fresh sweet basil
- Juice of 1 lemon
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl add all vegetables, drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice and basil, and toss to coat. Line rimmed cookie sheet with foil, add vegetables and loosely cover with foil. Roast 20 minutes. Remove foil and roast 5 additional minutes.
Sprinkle with sea salt to taste. Enjoy with your favorite grilled meat or eat as a standalone dish.
