Roasting is an ancient and traditional way of cooking vegetables in Mediterranean cuisines, and the same method of cooking vegetables has, in recent years, solidly taken its place in American cuisine as well. Fragrant and multicolored, roasted vegetables offer many attractive presentation possibilities. They sustain interest if served alone, but provide a most satisfying accompaniment to any meat or fish dish.

• 1 red onion, peeled and quartered

• 1 small eggplant, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces

• 1 red beet, quartered

• 1 red or yellow pepper, seeded, white membrane removed, and cut into 1-inch pieces

• olive oil to moisten all vegetables (about 1/3 cup)

• herbes de Provence

• pepper and salt

• 7 ripe tomatoes, quartered

• 1 small head of radicchio, leaves separated

• 1 small zucchini, washed and cut into 1-inch pieces

• 1 small bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut diagonally in 1-inch pieces

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. In a baking dish, spread onion, eggplant, beet, and peppers, sprinkle with olive oil, herbes de Provence, pepper, and salt.

3. Bake 20 minutes.
