Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Wash and chop the vegetables into similar-sized chunky pieces. Salt the eggplants and let sit for 20 minutes to draw out moisture, then pat dry.
  3. Combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, chopped rosemary, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Toss the chopped vegetables until fully coated.
  4. Spread the coated vegetables in a casserole dish and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
