By Margaret Pahos
If you are vegan or vegetarian, you will absolutely love this recipe by our friend Margaret from Create Cook Share. It's the perfect summer dish to have by itself, but it's also ideal to serve as a side dish with fish or meat. See all details and step by step recipe below...
I am 100% sure you will absolutely love this incredible meal and luxurious way of devouring your vegetables. Once again all it takes is chopping up the vegetables, throwing them into a baking dish, seasoning, drizzling with high quality extra virgin olive oil and baking.
The vegetables come out soft, aromatic and juicy with just a little browning. The idea is for the vegetables to overcook rather than be crunchy which makes it is perfect to served with a big loaf of bread to drink up those juices and extra virgin olive oil. Don't forget to add crumbled feta, if you wish, and a side serving of authentic Kalamata olives.
