I made this very colorful by using a purple eggplant, a white eggplant, a green pepper and a red pepper. I also threw in some garlic and some small peeled onions from the garden. I'm glad I added them, because even though I used both thyme and oregano, I think it would have been too bland for me withour the garlic and onions. This is a great combination of veggies for roasting; thanx!

Had some eggplant to roast so used this recipe. Turned out good, thanks!

Fantastic and such pretty colors. I cooked 50 minutes at 175C as I cooked chicken breasts at the same time, in fact, in the same pan. It was brilliant! Used herbes de Provence, salt and pepper. A really good, easy idea, thanks!

Tasted good but the cooking time was way off - I cut my peppers into sixth's, and they still needed at least twice the cooking time. My eggplant pieces might have been a little larger than indicated in the recipe, but still took at least twice as long. (My oven is fairly new, and everything else gets done within the time indicated in the recipe instructions.) I was disappointed - still trying to find a recipe for those times we get eggplant in our CSA box!

This is a very good veggie combo, I served this with lentils and rice. I'll try a mediterranean dish next time. Thank you Girl from India.
