What You Need:

(Servings: 6—because veggies should never be served in small portions!)

• 2 red bell peppers, cut into ½ inch strips (let’s start with some fiery red goodness)
• 2 orange beets, peeled and cubed (hello, vitamin-packed orbs!)
• 16 Pattypan squashes (yes, they’re real, and yes, they’re delicious)
• 6 mini green zucchinis (tiny, but mighty in nutrients)
• 1 purple onion, cut into wedges (purple power, let’s go!)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (you’ll need this for that golden touch)
• ½ teaspoon sea salt (because flavor, duh)
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper (for a little kick)

Instructions:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F. Yes, that’s 400 degrees of oven-hot action. Get ready to roast!
• Grease a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil—because non-stick surfaces are the way to go. Now arrange those colorful rainbow roasted veggies on the sheet, in the order of the rainbow: Red (bell peppers), Orange (beets), Yellow (pattypan squash), Green (zucchini), and Purple (onion). You’re basically assembling a masterpiece here.
• Drizzle the olive oil over your veggie rainbow and sprinkle on the salt and pepper. Now, get ready to feel fancy—just drizzle, don’t pour!
• Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the veggies are beautifully browned and tender. Don’t forget to give them a little love by checking on them halfway through!
