Where are all my panzanella friends??
Living in the Garden State during the summers, we have a plethora of gorgeous fruits and vegetables to choose from.
So the last time I was at my local farm stand, I grabbed a big, beautiful eggplant and a few colorful bell peppers and decided it was time to whip up a hearty Sheet Pan Roasted Vegetable Panzanella.
Why You’ll Love this Recipe
I don’t know about you folks, but I can never have enough sheet pan meals in my arsenal. They’re beyond easy. Always delicious and clean up is a breeze because everything is cooked on just one pan.
And who doesn’t enjoy a salad with toasted bread cubes? They toast up beautifully right along with all the veggies in the oven and then everything is tossed with a tangy vinagrette.
This meal is a great way to use up that extra day old bread and those leftover veggies in your fridge.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- eggplant
- red, yellow and orange bell peppers
- shallots
- olive oil
- kosher salt and pepper
- French boule
- red wine vinegar
- Dijon mustard
- garlic
- basil leaves
Step-By-Step Instructions
Just grab a French boule or even a sourdough or multigrain loaf and cut it up into cubes and set aside. Then roughly chop your eggplant and bell peppers and peel the shallots and cut them into wedges.
Add everything to a large baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and season with kosher salt and pepper. Toss everything together and roast away in your oven for about 40 minutes until the veggies are softened and the bread is crispy.
While everything is cooking you can make your vinaigrette dressing. It’s a simple combination of olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, Dijon mustard, kosher salt and pepper.
You’ll remove the tray from the oven to cool slightly before adding to a platter or serving bowl and tossing with your vinaigrette and fresh basil.
Nothing beats a sheet pan meal in my book folks! And when I can use fresh veggies from the farm stand during the summer all the better!

A Few Cook’s Notes for Sheet Pan Roasted Vegetable Panzanella
I used a French boule for this recipe, but you could also use a sourdough loaf or a multigrain loaf.
This recipe features a combination of red, yellow and orange peppers, but you could use any variety you prefer or have on hand.
It also includes shallots, but you could substitute red or yellow onions.
Don’t crowd everything on one sheet pan. If you don’t have a large one use two.
