Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a large baking dish.

  3. 3. Insert the garlic powder into the slits as much as possible.
  4. 4. In a large mixing bowl, toss the organically grown small brinjal, zucchini, carrots, and spring onion with olive oil, salt, and ground white pepper until evenly coated.
  5. 5. Arrange the vegetables in the baking dish, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 45-50 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  6. 6. While the vegetables are roasting, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  7. 7. Add the sambar onion and cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
