Instructions
To roast the vegetables:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, add eggplant, bell pepper, squash, and zucchini. Drizzle with olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper and toss to combine.
- Divide the vegetables among the two prepared baking sheets and roast until the vegetables are soft and lightly browned, about 45 minutes, stirring and rotating pans after 30 minutes of roasting time.
To make the sauce:
- While the vegetables are roasting, in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium-high heat, heat olive oil until shimmering. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes to a blender or food processor and process until smooth. To the skillet with the onions and garlic, add the tomato sauce, basil, thyme, oregano, and red chili flakes, if using.
- Reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered while the vegetables finish roasting. Season to taste with salt and pepper (I like ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper).
- To the pot with the sauce, stir in the roasted vegetables. Simmer 5 minutes longer to blend flavors, then garnish with fresh basil and salt and pepper to taste (I like 1/4 teaspoon salt or less). Serve with crusty bread.
