April 21, 2022
Ingredients:
- 1 onion
- 1 red or green pepper
- 1 tomato
- 1⁄2 carrot
- 1 zucchini
- 1⁄2 eggplant
- 1 bulb garlic
- 1 tsp pesto
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Drizzle of Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp Feta cheese crumbled
- 2 cups of lettuce chopped i.e. romaine, iceberg, mixed baby lettuce
Directions: Wash and chop all vegetables. Vegetables that take longer to cook should be cut into smaller pieces. Place vegetables into to a large bowl and add a little olive oil and salt and pepper. Toss. Place the vegetables onto a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Move around occasionally. Allow the vegetables to cool slightly and place onto a mixture of lettuce. Sprinkle with a little feta cheese and drizzle with a little balsamic vinegar.
Bake with oils that are high in polyunsaturated fats like sunflower, soya, corn and sesame, or mono- unsaturated fats like canola, peanut and olive oil.
