Summer Marinated Vegetables
Zucchini, mini sweet peppers, onions and garlic in a spicy Greek dressing marinade. Summer Marinated Vegetables One of the best tastes of summer is something picked fresh from the garden. It seems the older I get them more I appreciate vegetables. In fact tonight’s dinner was nothing but vegetables. I started out with this delightful marinated vegetables dish. This is one of those dishes that gets better the longer it sets and can be made up to 3 days ahead of when you need it. I am already trying to figure out what to serve with it tomorrow. I used the same cookie sheet for all of the vegetables, I just tried to keep the vegetables a little separate. The onions, garlic and peppers will get done before the zucchini and this way you can take them off the cookie sheet and return the rest to the oven. All together it took about 15 minutes to roast the vegetables. When you take them off the cookie sheet add them to the prepared dressing. I used Greek seasoning in mine but if you want another flavor go right ahead and substitute it. I just happen right now to really be loving Greek Seasoning, I get mine at Penzey’s. Note: If you use large peppers instead of the mini’s you are going to want to remove the skins from them if they are tough. I would roast the peppers in larger pieces and remove the skins and then cut the peppers in 1/2 inch strips.
