Sheet Pan · Summer
Roasted Summer Vegetables
Zucchini, peppers, and onion on a hot pan, long enough to blister and not so long that they collapse.
35 minutes · Serves 6 · A full sheet pan

“He gives food to every creature.”
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini, cut into spears
- 2 bell peppers, any color, cut into strips
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- ¾ tsp fine salt
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Method


- 1
Heat the oven to 450°F. Toss the zucchini, peppers, and onion with the oil, salt, oregano, and pepper.
- 2
Spread them in one layer. Roast 20 to 28 minutes, turning once, until the edges blister and the zucchini is tender but not mush.

Taste. Summer squash throws off water if the pan is crowded or the oven is timid. A hot, open pan is the whole method.
From the kitchen
- Cherry tomatoes can go on for the last 10 minutes. From the start, they burst and make the pan wet.
- Eat them the day you roast them. They do not improve overnight the way roots do.
