Ingredients
  

  • 2 Medium sized Eggplants Sliced then cut into 1/2 inch by 2 inch sticks
  • 2 Sweet or bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 Sweet onion, sliced into rings
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup Avocado Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Red Wine Vinegar and Fermented Chili Pepper Vinaigrette.

  • 1/4 cup Lucini Italia Sweet Cherry Artisan Vinegar or balsamic
  • 2 tbsp Trader Joe's Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce Fermented Crushed Calabrian Chili Peppers or other chili pepper sauce
  • 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preheat The Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (175°C).

Step 2: Prepare Eggplant

  • Prepare the eggplant by removing the green stem, then slice it into rounds and cut the rounds into ½-inch thick strips.

Step 3: Toss Vegetables

  • In a large bowl, toss the eggplant strips, onion slices, tomatoes, and bell peppers with extra virgin olive oil and sea salt.

Step 4: Prepare the Baking Sheet

  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the sheet.

Step 5: Roast the Vegetables

  • Roast the vegetables in the oven at 375°F for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the eggplant is soft and lightly caramelized.

Step 6: Make the Dressing

  • While the vegetables are roasting, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and fermented chili peppers in a small bowl to make the dressing.

Step 7: Combine and Dress the Roasted Salad

  • Once the vegetables are done roasting, let them cool slightly. In a large bowl, combine the roasted eggplant, onions, peppers, cherry tomatoes, and parsley.

Step 8: Serve

  • Pour the dressing over the roasted vegetables and toss gently to coat. Serve the salad warm or at room temperature as a side dish or light main course.
