Oven-Roasted Vegetable Stew with Potatoes

Cooking method

1. Step 1:

   

   How do you make oven-roasted vegetable stew with potatoes? Gather your ingredients. I used medium-sized vegetables. Feel free to round out the potatoes with any mix of vegetables you like, and adjust the proportions to taste. You can use a regular tomato instead of cherry tomatoes. Wash all the vegetables well.

2. Step 2:

   

   Peel the onion and cut it into medium dice.

3. Step 3:

   

   Wash and peel the carrot and cut it into medium dice as well.

4. Step 4:

   

   Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet. Add the prepared onion and carrot and sauté over medium heat for 5–7 minutes.

5. Step 5:

   

   Peel and wash the potatoes, then cut them into small cubes.

6. Step 6:

   

   Add the potatoes to the pan with the other vegetables and stir. Fry until everything is about half cooked.

7. Step 7:

   

   Trim the green stem end off the eggplant and cut it into small cubes.

8. Step 8:

   

   Stem and seed the bell pepper and cut it into cubes as well.

9. Step 9:

   

   Cut the zucchini into cubes the same way. If it's young, seedless, and thin-skinned, you can leave the skin on. If it's more mature, peel it and scoop out the seeds.

10. Step 10:

    

    Add the prepared bell pepper and eggplant to the skillet and stir. Pour in the remaining olive oil. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

11. Step 11:

    

    Add the diced zucchini.

12. Step 12:

    

    Season the vegetables with salt, sprinkle with fragrant herbs and spices to taste, and stir well.

13. Step 13:

    

    Transfer the vegetables to a baking dish.

14. Step 14:

    

    Arrange the cherry tomatoes on top, or a medium tomato cut into wedges. For a juicier stew, cover the dish with foil.

15. Step 15:

    

    Roast the vegetable stew in an oven preheated to 350°F (180°C) for 25–30 minutes. Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes. Check the vegetables now and then — once they're soft, the stew is done. The timing may vary from what's given here, since it depends on how your particular oven runs.

16. Step 16:

    

    The vegetable stew with potatoes is ready. Enjoy!
