Make
- Heat oven to 500F / 260C degrees.
- Brush a sheet pan with some cooking oil. Spread cauliflower, carrots, red onions and eggplants on the top. Cover tightly with foil and steam in the oven for 10 minutes. (Watch this video on roasting vegetables at high temps.)
- Uncover vegetables. Pour olive oil and vinegar over the top and season with salt and pepper. Toss with a spatula to combine. Return to the oven and continue roasting until vegetables are tender and caramelized, 10 to 15 minutes more, stirring halfway through.
- While vegetables roast, bring a sauce pan of water to boil. Salt generously and add pasta. Cook until al dente, tender but not soggy. Drain.
- Toss pasta with pesto and roasted vegetables. Top with cheese and enjoy!
