# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Place zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, eggplant, and broccoli on the baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat and spread vegetables in a single layer.
03 - Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until vegetables are golden and tender.
04 - In a saucepan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and sauté garlic for 1 minute. Add sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and oregano. Cook for 1 minute.
05 - Pour in heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
06 - Once vegetables are roasted, transfer to a large serving bowl. Pour the creamy sun-dried tomato sauce over the vegetables and toss gently to coat. Garnish with fresh basil and extra Parmesan before serving.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The way the roasted vegetables caramelize while the sauce creates this incredibly rich velvety coating that transforms simple produce into restaurant quality food
  • It looks impressive on the table but comes together with mostly hands off cooking time letting your oven do the heavy lifting
  • The leftovers somehow taste even better the next day when the flavors have had time to deepen and mingle
02 -
  • Do not skip the high oven temperature because that is what creates the roasted flavor and texture that makes this dish special instead of just steamed vegetables
  • The sauce will look thin when you first combine it but it thickens as it cools slightly so do not be tempted to reduce it too much
  • Leftovers reheat beautifully but the vegetables will be softer so if you like texture add them to the sauce at the last minute instead of tossing everything together
03 -
  • Oil from your sun-dried tomato jar is liquid gold use it in place of some olive oil for even more flavor
  • Grate your own Parmesan instead of buying pre grated because it melts better and tastes fresher
  • If the sauce seems too thick after reheating add a splash of pasta water or cream to loosen it up
