1 red bell pepper, seeded
1 red onion, peeled
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 Tbsp. olive oil
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 ½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚F.
- Cut the eggplant, bell pepper, and onion into 1-inch cubes. Toss in a large bowl with garlic, olive oil, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet. Roast for 45 minutes, until the vegetables are lightly browned and soft, tossing once during cooking. Cool slightly.
