Roasted Mediterranean Vegetables

Starrynews's Note:

A lovely, filling dish from my mom. I believe she got it from a market. You can use any color bell peppers - I like to use two different colors. I usually leave the skins on the potatoes and eggplant, but feel free to peel them before making the recipe, if that is your preference :)

Really liked these veggies! Didn't have eggplant and used sweet potatoes and threw in some mushrooms, but it was still sooo good. Was even better in leftovers the next day.

My dh & I really enjoyed this dish. It was the first time that we tried eggplant and we loved it. It was quick and easy to make, tender and crisp with a slightly sweet, yet savory flavor. I used white balsamic vinegar and green onions instead of chives, I also added a small sweet potato. Thank you starrynews for sharing a recipe that we will enjoy again and again.

What a delicious medley of colors and flavors! I added a bit of sweet potato which was very good with the mix and added a little color and sweetness as well. Next time I will add sliced mushroom and some sliced zucchini. Thanks so much for posting!
