Must Go Roasted Veggies

 

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup Liquid Gold Frantoio Extra Virgin olive Oil (or any of our Robust EVOO)

Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. On a large baking sheet toss the peppers, onion, 'must go veggies' with the minced garlic and 1/3 cup of olive oil, roast for 20 minutes; pull the baking sheet out and toss all vegetables once and return the vegetables to the oven and continue roasting for another 15 to 20 minutes until browned. For the dressing, combine Sicilian Lemon Balsamic or lemon juice, 1/3 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper and pour on the pasta and vegetables. Let cool to room temperature.  Add the diced scallions pine nuts or almonds, feta, toss and sprinkle basil  ribbons on top of mixture and serve.
