Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees (Gas Mark 5) and have ready a 12 x

pattypan, and crookneck squashes, onions, corn, tomatoes, bell peppers,
and black beans in a very large bowl.
- Drizzle lightly with the olive oil, sprinkle with thyme, salt, and
pepper and toss well to coat all the vegetables.

about half way through. Fork-test for tenderness and adjust baking time
if needed.

to an attractive serving bowl or a large, deep platter and finish with a
garnish of several sprigs of fresh herbs.
