Ah, the weather is perfect right now, and soon we'll have time to enjoy ourselves. Some of you will take a little vacation, others (like me :!) will work the whole summer! It doesn't matter, we'll always find a way to enjoy these gorgeous days and one of the best -for me- is a picnic.
A picnic is always exciting, especially if you find the right spot and you get the right food!
I like to have a little bit of everything in my basket: pasta, veggies, meat, panini, fruit and dessert. A little something to satisfy everybody! And also I want food which tastes good even if I don't have a fire available for cooking.
With this in mind, the following recipes are good warm, but even better eaten cold, the next day!!!
Gratin Vegetables
A sheet pan for roasting the veggies
-2 zucchini
-2 eggplants
-2 yellow bell peppers
-2 red onions
-2 potatoes
-10 cherry tomatoes
-salt, pepper, e.v.o.o., breadcrumbs,
-parchment paper
Preheat the oven at 350°
Cover the sheet pan with the parchment paper
Cut all the veggies in pieces not too big.
Put them on the pan t and mix them with some e.v.o.o., salt, pepper and a couple of handfuls of breadcrumbs and then more e.v.o.o., salt, pepper and breadcrumbs.
(Remember, a little oil goes a long way)
Let the veggies roast in the oven on the middle rack for about 1/2 an hour.
Then sprinkle them with some more breadcrumbs and "just" a drizzle of e.v.o.o.
Put them back in the oven for another half hour. They are ready when they have a nice golden crust. .
Let them cool and pack them ready for your picnic ;)
