Herb Marinated Vegetables
Marinating vegetables ahead of time is a wonderful way to make vegetable dishes a bit more interesting.
Whisk together vinegar, water and herbs in a small bowl.
Cut bell peppers into large pieces, discarding seeds and membranes. Cut summer squash, onions and whatever other vegetables you choose to add into a size similar to the peppers. You may also add broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, eggplant, bulb fennel root or whatever vegetables appeal to you. Place in large bowl, add marinade to vegetables and toss to coat.
Cover and chill for two hours or longer.
Roast vegetables with marinade in pre-heated 350 degree oven until tender in shallow baking dish,15 to 20 minutes. Drizzle olive oil over veggies and serve. May be served over quinoa or millet or enjoyed as is.
I didn’t care for this marinade at all. The flavors were awful and I couldn’t eat it.
I suspect the Rosemary was probably the culprit. I will make a note on the recipe. I am not all that found of Rosemary either.
