Rinse zucchini and eggplant, cut into 5-7 cm pieces. Rinse tomatoes and cut into wedges. Peel red onions and cut into wedges. Peel and rinse potatoes, quarter them. Mince the garlic cloves or leave whole. Rinse lemon and cut into wedges.

Sprinkle with roughly equal amounts of thyme, rosemary, and basil to taste. Season with pepper and Vegeta or salt to taste. Drizzle generously with olive oil.
