# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F and position the rack in the middle position.

03 - Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet, leaving space between pieces for even roasting.
04 - Roast for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet and gently stir or flip the vegetables.
05 - Add the cherry tomatoes and minced garlic to the pan, mixing them in with the other vegetables. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 10 to 12 minutes, until all vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized at the edges.
06 - Remove from the oven. Drizzle immediately with lemon juice and add Kalamata olives if using. Toss gently.
07 - Transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley. Serve warm or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything roasts on one pan, so cleanup is as easy as the cooking.
  • The vegetables get sweet and caramelized at the edges while staying tender inside.
  • It tastes even better the next day, which makes it perfect for meal prep or potlucks.
  • You can serve it warm, cold, or somewhere in between, and it always works.
02 -
  • Don't add the garlic at the beginning or it will burn and taste acrid instead of sweet.
  • If your vegetables release too much water, spread them across two pans so they roast instead of steaming.
  • Taste a piece of eggplant before serving, and if it needs more salt, add it right then.
03 -
  • Prep all your vegetables the night before and store them in the fridge so you can toss and roast them quickly the next day.
  • Use two pans if you're doubling the recipe, because overcrowding will steam the vegetables instead of roasting them.
  • Save any leftover juices from the pan and use them to dress grains or toss with pasta.
