How To Present Traditional Italian Oven Roasted Vegetables

Video Transcript

"These are the vegetables that I already roasted and as you can see they do become smaller and they become more actually flacit. In this case flacitiy is a good thing half inch eggplant, I'm going ahead and plate it and what I'm going to do is put the eggplant around in a circle. This part is always fun this is where the artist in me comes out so I just double up on the ones that I have extra. I probably made enough for about 10 people here it's very hard for me to make a small amount of anything but I think we'll enjoy the fruit of my labor. So here we have the eggplant all in a circle and this basically has olive oil, and the salt and pepper that I roasted it with, then I'm going around in a circle with these peppers so beautiful, look and you don't really have to peel them. Some people do I don't and that gorgeous oil just now dripping all over the eggplant because you can see the kind of pulls inside how shiny it is, so now it's dripping onto the eggplant. See just gorgeous here's one that has a lot inside see up side down they sweat a little and then I'm going ahead and put on the yellow peppers. Actually I have more red peppers so why not just get everything on there, there we go, and then the yellow peppers. You can use green to I personally not fond of green peppers I have no idea why, and then the zucchini ain't that gorgeous it's like a sunflower and it just looks like something straight out of Italy and so simple so delicious at this point if you want to you can add a little more salt and pepper. I wait to taste it first so I'm not going to even touch it I think it's perfect the way it is. I have only used the olive oil, salt and pepper, so that the taste of the vegetables can come through and when you want to serve it you can just take we'll I'm sure you use a beautiful serving feast but I happen to have this handy but you can have people serve themselves essentially what they'll take is a stack something like this and put it their own plate."
