Roasted Pepper and Courgette/Zucchini Salad : It's vegetarian, gluten free and dairy free

Why not serve up a taste of the Mediterranean with this warm roasted vegetable salad that makes a great side dish to grilled meats and fish or as part of a vegetarian buffet. Sweet, colourful roasted peppers and courgettes/zucchini combine with a fragrant oregano and garlic oil and then finished with a crunchy sprinkle of toasted pine nuts... yum 😋


Ingredients
Serves Four
2 red peppers, deseeded and cut into wedges
1 yellow pepper, deseeded and cut into wedges
1 orange pepper, deseeded and cut into wedges
2 red onions, cut into wedges
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp dried oregano
1 garlic clove, crushed
½ lemon, zested
2 courgettes/zucchini, sliced into rounds
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp pine nuts
sprigs of fresh oregano or thyme, to serve (optional)

Method
1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the pepper and onion wedges on a large baking tray. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tbsp of the oil with the dried oregano, crushed garlic and lemon zest. Season, then drizzle over the veg and toss everything together before spreading the vegetables out in an even layer.
2. Roast for 20 mins, then remove the tray from the oven and add the courgettes and remaining tbsp of oil. Toss everything together, then return to the oven for 15 mins.
3. Drizzle over the balsamic vinegar and roast for a final 5 mins.
4. Meanwhile, add the pine nuts to a dry-frying pan on a medium heat and toast gently for 30 secs-1 min until lightly golden.
5. Serve the roasted vegetables on a large platter or dish and sprinkle over the pine nuts and sprigs of fresh oregano or thyme (if using) to serve.
