ROASTED VEGGIE ANTIPASTO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Spread green, red, and yellow peppers, green beans, white onion, garlic, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, and mushrooms onto several baking sheets and drizzle with olive oil; toss lightly to coat.
• Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven until slightly browned and softened, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• While vegetables are roasting, pour ketchup into a large pot over medium heat and stir in tomatoes, white vinegar, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes; stir in roasted vegetables, black olives, green olives, and basil. Simmer until cooked through, about 5 more minutes.
• Sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the roasted vegetable mixture into the sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, for 24 hours. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

• Preheat oven to 500°F
• Arrange vegetables on a baking sheet and brush both sides.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Place in oven and roast for 7 to 8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
• When vegetables are cool enough to handle begin layering using a springform pan that has a sheet of parchment paper on the bottom.
• Place eggplant in the bottom of the dish, drizzle with some olive oil, and add some of the garlic.
• Add some of the fresh herbs, and then some olives.
• Sprinkle a little vinegar on top and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Continue to layer vegetables, along with seasonings, adding the peppers next, and then fennel, and finally the zucchini.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Release pan and use the parchment to carefully slide onto a serving platter.

MARINATED ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Blend all ingredients except for the vegetables in a large mixing bowl to make the marinade. Pour in the vegetables and stir them around so that they get initially coated with marinade.
• Marinate the vegetables in the refrigerator for about 2 hours, stirring once or twice.
• Place the vegetables, with all the marinade, in an 9" x 13" (or larger) casserole dish, cover with aluminum foil, and bake on the middle rack in a pre-heated oven at 375-degrees F. for 45 minutes.
• Serve hot.
• TIP: Sometimes the potatoes and carrots I use in this recipe are a little flaccid -- so, to fix that problem, all I do is soak them in really cold water (after they're peeled) for about 2 hours before marinating and they crisp right up!
