Roasted Peppers, Onion, and Eggplant Recipe

Roasted Peppers, Onion, and Eggplant Recipe

  • 3 large red bell peppers
  • 3 small Italian eggplants (1 lb total), halved lengthwise
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large sweet onion, halved through root end and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
  • Sea salt
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Place whole peppers in one third of an oiled, large 1-inch-deep baking pan. Brush cut sides of eggplants with 1/2 tablespoon oil and arrange next to peppers in pan. Toss onion with 1 tablespoon oil and spread in remaining third of pan.
  3. Roast vegetables, turning peppers occasionally, until skins of peppers blister on all sides, about 40 minutes. Transfer peppers to a bowl, cover, and let steam 10 minutes. Continue roasting eggplants and onion until tender and browned, 20 to 30 minutes more, and keep warm, covered.
  4. Peel peppers and cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips, discarding stems and seeds. Season vegetables with sea salt and pepper. Serve eggplants topped with peppers and onion. Drizzle with remaining oil and season with sea salt.
