Simple Veggie Appetizer

by Dan Stearns

When they’re done, these veggies may not have a lot of shape, but they’ll make up for it in great taste.

Ingredients
  • 4 medium-sized tomatoes
  • One large onion
  • Green bell pepper
  • Sea salt
  • Fresh ground pepper
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
Quarter tomatoes into wedges.
Slice onions in large, flat slices like you’d use on a sandwich.
Cut green peppers in quarters or eighths and remove inner membranes with a melon scooper or teaspoon (just to get rid of the white inner rind and seeds) .

Put all veggies on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, season with fresh ground pepper and sea salt, and place in a 325 oven for about 45-minutes to an hour.

Serve right away as they are, or place on toasted whole grain bread as a “bruschetta” with a bit of freshly grated Asiago cheese.

When they’re done, these veggies may not have a lot of shape, but they’ll make up for it in great taste. And even though nutrients won’t be on your mind while you enjoy them, the fact that they collectively supply lycopene and other carotenoids, plus chromium and other minerals is just an added plus.
