Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, toss the sliced red bell peppers, diced eggplant, sliced zucchini, and red onion wedges with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, ensuring the vegetables are well coated.
-
Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through roasting for even cooking.
-
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the tahini dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and water until smooth and creamy. Add salt and pepper to taste and adjust the consistency with more water if desired.
-
Once the vegetables are roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
-
In a large serving bowl, combine the roasted vegetables and drizzle the tahini dressing over the top. Gently toss everything together until the vegetables are coated with the creamy dressing.
-
Serve the Roasted Vegetable and Tahini Salad warm or at room temperature, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
