Ingredients
2 medium zucchini
2 bell peppers (any color)
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 large red onion
1 can (15 oz) cannellini beans
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan (optional)
Instructions
1. Wash and slice zucchini into rounds. Slice bell peppers into strips, halve cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice red onion.
2. In a large bowl or directly in a baking dish, toss all vegetables with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Rinse and drain the cannellini beans. Gently mix them in with the vegetables.
4. Sprinkle Parmesan on top if using.
5. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 35-40 minutes, until veggies are tender and edges are golden.
6. Remove from oven, garnish with rosemary, and serve warm.
Notes
Cut all veggies to similar sizes for even roasting.
Make it vegan by skipping the Parmesan or using nutritional yeast.
This bake is excellent for meal prep and gets even tastier the next day.
