- 2 medium tomatoes, thickly sliced
- 1⁄2 large green bell pepper, seeded,quartered
- 1⁄2 medium onion, thickly sliced
- 1⁄2 cup potato, peeled,cut into wedges
- 1⁄4 cup eggplant, thickly sliced
- 1⁄2 cup cucumber, peeled,thickly sliced

Marinade
- 1 -2 teaspoon lemon juice concentrate (or more)
- 1⁄4 cup water
- 1⁄8 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1⁄8 teaspoon dried basil
- 1⁄8 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1⁄8 teaspoon thyme
- 1⁄8 teaspoon oregano
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- paprika (to taste)
- black pepper (to taste)
- cooking spray
directions
- Peel and chop the veggies as directed and place them in a large ziplock bag.
- In a non-metallic bowl, mix together the marinade ingredients and mix well.
- Pour the marinade into the ziplock bag, seal it, and shake it well such that all the veggies are coated with the herb marinade.
- Let it sit for at least 30 minutes (45 minutes to 1 hour is preferable).
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celcius (392 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Spray a casserole dish or baking sheet lightly with cooking spray.
- Remove the veggies from the ziplock bag and arrange them on the dish/tray.
- Bake on the top rack of the oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the veggies are as done as you want them; turn once or twice during baking.
- Alternately, you can also grill the veggies in skewers, I prefer that way!
- After they're done, pile the veggies onto a large plate, season with extra salt and pepper if required, pour yourself a tall glass of cold fruit juice, and sit down to a shockingly healthy and light lunch!

Done as per instructions (though I think I used more herbs than your instructions call for as I used fresh instead). Delicious - particularly the cucumber; I was a bit wary to begin with but it was the best vegetable of the dish, succulent and juicy. The eggplant stuck to the bottom of the pan badly, though - only downside to the whole thing. Thanks for this recipe!

I used russet potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, yellow & red bell peppers and tomatoes and 2 TBSP Reconstituted lemon juice. I will use less next time because although it was AWESOME, I think it interfered with the natural sweet roasted flavor of the veggies. I LOVE that this is fat-free! This recipe proves you don't necessarily need the oil for roasting veggies!
