    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 400 F or heat grill on medium setting.
    2. Prepare vegetables by arranging summer squash, eggplant, onions, and bell pepper on a https://amzn.to/2NbztAG”>baking sheet.
    3. Mix together vinaigrette by combining olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, black pepper, and sea salt in a https://amzn.to/33l2BKQ”>small dish.
    4. Drizzle vinaigrette over vegetables and toss with tongs to distribute.
    5. Place vegetables on top rack of oven and roast for about 30 minutes, turning half way through cooking, until golden brown and tender. Or place on a hot grill (may use https://amzn.to/37wQhto”>grill basket) and cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes, turning to cook evenly. Remove and set aside.
    6. Meanwhile, toast pine nuts by placing them in a small baking dish in the hot oven for about 5 minutes while vegetables are roasting. Remove and set aside.
