Instructions

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Cut bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.

Toss the vegetables with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

Blend the sauce until smooth, adding a little water if needed to reach desired consistency.
5
Divide the roasted vegetables between two bowls, drizzle generously with romesco sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley.
