Equipment Needed

• Baking sheet
• Blender or food processor
• Sharp knife
• Cutting board

Ingredients

• 6 ripe tomatoes, halved (as necessary)
• 2 large red bell peppers, quartered and seeds removed
• 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
• 4 cloves of garlic, peeled
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped

Instructions

Step-1. Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the oven is hot enough to roast the vegetables perfectly.

Halve the tomatoes and quarter the red bell peppers. Remove the seeds from the peppers. Cut the red onion into wedges and peel the garlic cloves. Place all the vegetables on a baking sheet.

Step-3. Season the Vegetables

Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes if you want some heat. Mix all the ingredients well by hand if necessary.

Step-4. Roast the Vegetables

Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred. This roasting process brings out the natural sweetness and depth of flavour in the vegetables.

Step-5. Blend the Sauce

Once the vegetables are roasted, let them cool slightly. Transfer them to a blender or food processor. Add the balsamic vinegar, tomato paste, chopped basil, and parsley leaves. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
