Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss 1 medium eggplant (cut into 1/2-inch slices), 2 medium zucchini (cut into 1/2-inch slices), 1 red bell pepper (cut into 1/2-inch strips), and 1 yellow onion (cut into 1/2-inch wedges) with 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried thyme, and 1/4 tsp salt on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Roast for 25 minutes, stirring once halfway, until vegetables are tender and edges are golden brown.
  3. Step 3: Remove from oven, pour 1/2 cup vegetable broth and 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar over vegetables, spreading evenly. Return to oven and roast 10 more minutes until liquid reduces to a glossy glaze.
  4. Step 4: Transfer to a serving dish and top immediately with 4 oz crumbled goat cheese.
