VEGGIE NICOISE SALAD
More and more people in my workplace are becoming vegetarians. When we cook or eat together, the focus is on fresh produce. This salad combines some of our favorite ingredients in one dish...and with the hard-boiled eggs and kidney beans, it delivers enough protein to satisfy those who are skeptical of vegetarian fare. -Elizabeth Kelley, Chicago, Illinois

ROASTED SUMMER VEGETABLES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Trim the ends of the zucchinis and cut them diagonally in 3/4-inch-thick slices. (The slices will seem large, but they¿ll shrink while they cook.) Cut the peppers lengthwise in 1 1/2-inch-wide slices, discarding the core. Trim off the fennel stalks and cut the bulb through the core in 1-inch wedges. (Cutting through the core keeps the pieces intact.) Peel the onion and slice it in 1/4-inch-thick rounds, leaving the slices intact.
- Place the vegetables in groups on a sheet pan. Drizzle with the olive oil, add the garlic, and toss gently to be sure the vegetables are lightly coated with oil. Spread the vegetables in one layer on 2 sheet pans. (If they¿re crowded, they¿ll steam rather than roast.) Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and place the thyme sprigs on top. Roast for 15 minutes. Turn each piece and put the pans back in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, until all the vegetables are crisp-tender. Sprinkle with extra salt and serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat oven or to 425F. Spray roasting dish or pan with non-stick spray or mist with olive oil. Pan should be large enough for veggies to be SINGLE LAYER.

Peel garlic cloves. Put veggies into plastic bowl, then toss with the olive oil, lemon juice, thyme mixture. Arrange on roasting pan. (Maybe preheat pan?)

Wipe out the plastic bowl you used earlier with a paper towel, then put into bowl and toss gently with the parmesan cheese. Serve hot.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, choose fresh, seasonal vegetables. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and firm to the touch.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. Smaller pieces will cook faster than larger pieces, so adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them to brown and caramelize in the oven.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit or higher) so that they get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Stir the vegetables occasionally during roasting to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Serve the roasted vegetables immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.
- You can use any type of vegetables you like in this recipe. Some popular choices include zucchini, squash, bell peppers, onions, carrots, and broccoli.
