This is one of my favorite ways of cooking vegetables for a dinner party. You can do most of it in advance and put them in the oven again 1/2ā3/4 hour before serving.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Put all the vegetables, whole and unpeeled, on a sheet of foil on a baking sheet in a preheated 400Ā°F oven. Roast for 1 hour, or until all the vegetables are softāthe eggplants should be very soft and the skin of the peppers blackened and blistered.
Step 2
When cold enough to handle, peel the vegetables (for peeling peppers, see page 84). Press the eggplants very gently in a colander to remove some of their juices, and cut into large pieces. Cut each pepper into 4 strips. Cut the onions in half.
Step 3
Put all the vegetables in a baking dish and sprinkle with oil, salt, and pepper. Mix gently and roast at 400Ā°F for a further 1/2 hour, or until nicely browned.
Step 4
Serve hot.
