Vegan Italian Supper

Oven-Roasted Heirloom Tomatoes Vegetarian
25 mins
Serves 4
Vegetarian

Thank you Ali Slagle from the New York Times for the suggestion of roasting classic Italian-American sub fillings and serving them for dinner. With heirloom tomatoes and the liquid from a jar of Roasted Heirloom Tomatoes instead of olive oil and vinegar and olives instead of sausage, you can enjoy a next-level, hearty vegan-italian meal. Serve this scrumptious roasted meal on its own or with crusty bread, rice or pasta.

  • Step 1

    Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Combine liquid from Roasted Heirloom Tomatoes with garlic and dried spices.

  • Step 2

    Pour half the dressing into a large bowl, then add the chickpeas,  red onion, cauliflower and pepperoncini. Mix gently to coat in the dressing,  then spread evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes.

  • Step 3

    Toss the roasted mixture with Roasted Heirloom Tomatoes, olives and remaining dressing. Sprinkle cheese over top, if using. Serve with bread, rice or pasta.
