👨‍🍳 Method

For the Roasted Vegetables

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    In a bowl, toss the vegetables, pepper, onion and tomatoes with the olive oil, salt and black pepper.
    Bowl
  3. 3
    Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer, without crowding.
    Baking pan
  4. 4
    Roast the vegetables, pepper, onion and tomatoes in a hot oven (200°C / 390°F) 25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the edges are browned.

    💡Give it room in the pan: crowded vegetables steam instead of browning.

To assemble

  1. 5

    StoveSmall saucepan
  2. 6

    Add the olive oil and lemon juice and mix.
  4. 8
    Mix the roasted vegetables into the bulgur, and sprinkle the mint and parsley on top.
