how to cook Best Roasted Vegetable Salad?
STEP 1
First, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). While that’s heating up, grab a baking sheet and line it with some parchment paper. Now, it’s time to give those eggplants and sweet peppers a good wash. Once they’re squeaky clean, place them on the prepared baking sheet. Don’t forget to give them a nice coating of vegetable oil to keep things from sticking.
TIPS: Another useful tip is to use a silicone pastry brush to apply vegetable oil on vegetables. It’s much easier and convenient. Alternatively, you can also use spray oil.
STEP 2
Now, pop that baking sheet into the preheated oven and let those veggies bake for a solid 30 minutes.

STEP 3
Once the time is up, take the sheet out of the oven and let it cool completely. Then peel those baked eggplants and cut off the stems. Do the same with the sweet peppers, peeling them and removing the stem and seeds.
STEP 4
Now it’s time to get chopping! Cut those peeled eggplants into bite-sized cubes.
STEP 5
Do the same with the baked sweet peppers.
STEP 6
Give the tomatoes a good wash, peel them, and chop them up into cubes as well.
TIPS: Wondering how to remove the skin from tomatoes? It’s simple! Start by making a shallow crosswise cut on the tomato. Then, place the tomatoes in a bowl of boiling water for about 15-20 seconds. After that, remove them and rinse with cold water. Now, you can easily peel off the skin.
STEP 7
Grab a red onion, peel it, and slice it into thin quarter rings.
TIPS: Ever wondered what it means to cut an onion into quarter rings? Start by cutting a whole onion in half lengthwise. Then, cut one of the halves in half lengthwise again. Finally, slice the resulting quarter of the onion across, and voila! You’ve got yourself a quarter ring.
STEP 8
And don’t forget about the herbs! Wash the parsley, dry it off, and finely chop it.
TIPS: If you don’t have fresh parsley, you can always add dried parsley to your dish. Dried herbs can be a great substitute.
STEP 9
Do the same with the dill.
TIPS: If you don’t have fresh dill, you can always add dried one to your dish. Dried herbs can be a great substitute.
STEP 10

In a large bowl, combine the baked eggplants, sweet peppers, chopped tomatoes, and red onion.

Now it’s time to add some flavor! Sprinkle in some paprika, black pepper, and salt to taste. Toss in those freshly chopped herbs, add some lemon juice, and drizzle in some more vegetable oil. Give it all a good stir to make sure everything is nicely coated.
TIPS: When it comes to lemon juice, you have the choice between using fresh lemons or bottled lemon juice. Both options work just fine, so go with whatever you have on hand or prefer. The tangy flavor of lemon will add a refreshing twist to your dish.
