Ingredients

• 1 medium, diced into 1/2-inch cubes zucchini
• 1 small, diced into 1/2-inch cubes eggplant
• 1 medium, diced into 1/2-inch cubes bell pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp, chopped fresh thyme
• 1/2 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss zucchini, eggplant, and bell pepper with olive oil, salt, black pepper, thyme, and brown sugar. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
2. Step 2: Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until vegetables are tender and edges are crispy and caramelized.
