Oven-Baked Eggplant and Bell Peppers with Turmeric

Baked vegetables are the most delicious and healthy. Be sure to try it! In the summer, you should definitely cook baked vegetables. however, if possible, it is worth preparing them all year round. Preparing this dish does not cause any trouble, the main thing is to clean and cut the vegetables and put them in the oven. And the rest is pure benefit. After all, the peppers and eggplants were cooked, without oil, in their own juice, just carefully baked in the oven, preserving vitamins and microelements as much as possible. For aroma, I season the eggplants with ground turmeric, and so that it reveals its aroma, I throw it into hot vegetable oil. Baked eggplant is a universal dish — you can use it as a side dish, including as a component of complex side dishes, or as an independent dish (hot appetizer)
