This recipe is super easy, only takes one pan, is delicious, and makes vegetables tasty! All these are a win in my book! The fun part is that you can use any veggies you want, the ones listed or eggplant, pumpkin, butternut squash, sweet potato, whatever you have on hand! -Lauren Dunaway

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 potato, cut in thin slices

  • 1 – 2 zucchini, cut in 4 lengthwise pieces or large chunks

  • 1 large onion, cut in slices or quarters

  • 1 red pepper, cut in large pieces

  • 10 – 15 cherry tomatoes or 2 tomatoes, cut in large pieces

  • 2 – 3 tbsp melted coconut oil

  • 1 drop (or use the toothpick method!) Oregano Vitality

  • ¼ tsp dried oregano or thyme leaves (optional)

  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper (to taste)

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Peel and slice veggies that need it. Thinly slice the potato and cut the rest of the veggies lengthwise approx. 4 pieces or large chunks. Leave the cherry tomatoes whole. You want to make sure all the veggies are about the same size!

  3. Once the veggies are prepped, place them in a large bowl. Then add the Oregano Vitality to the melted coconut oil and stir to mix in. Pour the coconut oil/oregano oil mixture over the veggies and sprinkle them generously with sea salt, pepper, and the dried oregano and gently mix again

  4. Place the veggies on the baking sheet and spread them around to allow them to cook evenly.

  5. Place the dish in the oven and bake for approx. 35 – 40 minutes or until they are cooked through and tender.

  6. Add the Parmesan cheese on top about 10 minutes before the veggies are done cooking so it has time to melt.

  7. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with a little more sea salt and pepper, if desired.

  8. Serve immediately or allow to cool and serve at room temperature or chilled the next day.

Oh, one more thing, what is the toothpick method?! For stronger oils like Oregano, a little goes a long way, so you can dip a toothpick in the bottle of oil and then swirl it in the dish, mix, and taste. This way you can add a little at a time and with this recipe you can add the oil to the melted coconut oil before adding it to your veggies!

I think this one will be on repeat until it gets warmer! What do you think? Share in the comments and tag a friend who’d love this recipe!
