For vegetable oven roast
2 cups single or mixed vegetable of your choice (asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, bell pepper, carrot)
Salt, pepper, olive oil as per need

1 small sized onion ( halved and thinly sliced)
5-6 salad cherry tomatoes ( halved)
Few cubed/ crumbled feta cheese

Preparation
Preheat oven to 220c in fan forced grill mode. Line baking tray with foil. Spray a little oil. Disperse the evenly cut vegetables. Let them not be too crowded. Sprinkle little salt and pepper. Drizzle little olive oil. Toss to coat all vegetables evenly. Place the tray in topmost rack. Grill/ broil for 7-10 minutes shaking the tray once or twice in between. Keep watchful eye. Over roasted veggies may give a bitter flavor. Once done, take the tray out and allow to veggies to cool.

In a small closed container add olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and dried herbs. Close with lid and shake vigorously for the flavors to intermingle well.
