# How to Make:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, toss zucchini, yellow squash, bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
03 - Spread vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 30–35 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until vegetables are golden and tender.
04 - While vegetables roast, heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes; sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
05 - Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes, stirring until the sauce is thickened and cheese is melted.
06 - Once vegetables are roasted, transfer them to a large serving platter or bowl. Drizzle the warm sun-dried tomato sauce over the top and gently toss to coat. Garnish with extra fresh basil. Serve immediately.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The sun-dried tomato sauce transforms ordinary roasted vegetables into something restaurant-worthy
- It comes together so easily yet looks stunning on the table
02 -
- The sauce thickens quickly so keep an eye on it and remove from heat as soon as it coats the back of a spoon
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet or the vegetables will steam instead of roast
03 -
- Chop your vegetables into uniform pieces so they finish roasting at the same time
- Let the sauce cool slightly before tossing with hot vegetables so it clings better
