Ingredients

  • 2 cups canned cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 medium zucchini, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper (red or yellow), chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: ¼ cup grated Parmesan or crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 °F (220 °C) and line a baking dish or sheet pan.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chopped zucchini, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, sliced onion, and cannellini beans with olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano or Italian seasoning, salt and pepper until everything is evenly coated.
  3. Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared pan.
  4. Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are golden and tender.
  5. If using cheese, sprinkle the grated Parmesan or crumbled feta over the top and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to melt and lightly brown.
  6. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and serve hot as a main dish or side.

Notes

  • You can substitute any vegetables you have—sweet potatoes, eggplant, mushrooms, or broccoli all work well depending on the season.
  • If you don’t have cannellini beans, you can use chickpeas or white kidney beans instead. Canned saves time. ([turn0search1]turn0search1)
  • To make it vegan, skip the cheese or use a plant‑based alternative.
  • For a more substantial meal, stir in cooked quinoa or couscous after roasting.
