Easy Roasted Summer Squash with Sweet Peppers and Onion Recipe

I recently had dinner at a high brow local eatery here in town, and they served roasted squash as one of their premium side dishes. I ordered it, expecting something really magnificent, and when my dinner arrived, I was a little taken aback by the Chef’s approach to this dish. It wasn’t bad, it was pure simplicity. Cubes of squash and zucchini, lightly roasted until golden and barely touched with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. I roast vegetables like this all of the time at home, and it never occurred to me that this basic approach was something people pay top dollar to enjoy. I really love this simple elegant side dish featuring a brilliant display of color in the squash, bell peppers and red onion.

I love turning these vegetables into a pizza toppr for a round two meal. To do so, arrange them on top of a pizza crust, drizzle with pizza sauce and plenty of shredded mozzarella cheese for a roasted vegetable pizza.
