Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss 2 medium sliced zucchini, 2 sliced bell peppers, and 1 thinly sliced red onion with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Step 2: Spread vegetables evenly on a parchment-lined sheet pan, ensuring they aren't overcrowded for even roasting.
  3. Step 3: Roast for 20-22 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until edges are golden and vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven, sprinkle with 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, and toss gently to distribute. Let sit for 2 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.

How do I store leftover Roasted Zucchini, Pepper and Red Onion Medley?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep zucchini from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Roasted Zucchini, Pepper and Red Onion Medley?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Roasted Zucchini, Pepper and Red Onion Medley for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
