Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, and orange), washed and cut into strips
- 1.5 pounds small gold or red potatoes, cut into bite-sized chunks
Seasonings and Oils
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (natural)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and chop the bell peppers into evenly sized strips, and cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks to ensure uniform cooking.
- Seasoning the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the bell peppers and potatoes with olive oil (natural), minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss well until all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Roasting: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding to allow for crisping. Roast in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes, turning the vegetables once halfway through cooking, until the potatoes are golden and tender and the peppers are soft with slight charring.
- Finishing Touches: Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving dish. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice (natural) and toss gently to combine. Serve warm.
Notes
- Cut vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
- Roasting at high heat (425°F) caramelizes natural sugars and enhances flavor.
- Use a large baking sheet to keep vegetables in a single layer to avoid steaming.
- Add fresh herbs towards the end or as garnish to preserve aroma and flavor.
- For a binding sauce or drizzle, incorporate a natural gelling agent for ideal texture.
