| 1 red pepper, cored, deseeded, and cut into chunks | 4 cloves garlic, crushed | |
| 1 yellow pepper, cored, deseeded, and cut into chunks | 4 tbs olive oil | |
| 2 onions, quartered | Salt and black pepper | |
| 2 medium-sized or 4 small courgettes, thickly sliced | 1 bunch fresh coriander, basil, or parsley, chopped | |
| 8 cherry tomatoes |
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Arrange all the vegetables and the garlic in a shallow roasting tin. Add the olive oil, and push the vegetables around until they are well coated with the oil. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, and roast in the oven for about 40 minutes, stirring once or twice. The vegetables should be tender and just starting to turn golden-brown. Sprinkle with the chopped fresh herbs.
Serve these vegetables with plain brown rice, couscous, or bulgur for an appetizing and colourful supper. The vegetables are also a delicious accompaniment to the Sunday roast, grilled fish or meat, or to a simple omelette.
