MISO MEDITERRANEAN VEGETABLE ROAST

Before and After — with some sunshine

---

Roasted vegetables are so easy to throw together on a rimmed baking sheet. However, I love this creation as it is just as appealing to the eye, as the stomach. You could use a round or rectangular casserole dish. This is a great dish to make ahead for company, or just to eat all week with your family or save for yourself :).

INGREDIENTS
1 medium eggplant
2 large heirloom tomatoes
1 medium red onion
1 large zucchini
3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 Tablespoon white miso paste
2 Tablespoons each: chopped fresh dill, fresh parsley, fresh basil
freshly ground pepper to taste

PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice eggplant, tomatoes, onion and zucchini into thin circles. Place all in a large bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar and miso. Pour mixture over veggies and toss well. Start layering all the vegetables in casserole dish — suggested order: eggplant, zucchini, red onion, tomato. Repeat in a circle or rows until all veggies are in dish. Sprinkle with half of herbs.

Place dish in oven and roast for 50–60 minutes, until onion is lightly browned and fork easily goes into veggies. Sprinkle remaining herbs and freshly ground pepper. Serve either hot or at room temperature.
