    Roasted Vegetable spread


    Source of Recipe


    "Nana" to Bubbe & Alex

    1 each, red, yellow and one green bell pepper, diced
    1 medium red onion, diced
    6 green onions sliced
    4 cloves garlic, crushed
    1 small zucchini, diced
    1 small eggplant, skinned, cleaned and diced
    1 basket cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
    8 ozs mushrooms,fresh sliced
    3 tablespoons olive oil
    8 ounces cream cheese
    Kosher salt
    Freshly ground black pepper
    2 tbsp fresh rosemary, minced up, or 1 1/2 tsp crushed dried



    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
    Place the Veggies, rosemary, ground pepper, garlic and olive oil in
    a mixing bowl and toss until the vegetables are coated. Spread the
    vegetables evenly on sheet pan lined with foil and place to the
    oven. Roast, tossing occasionally, until they are soft and are
    beginning to turn brown around the edges, approximately 45 minutes.
    Remove from the oven and cool completely.

    Place the vegetables in the bowl of a food processor along with the
    cream cheese and process until well combined and spreadable; do not
    process until completely smooth, leave it kind of chunky(I reserve
    half the veggies to add after its all been processed and mixed well,
    that way your sure you'll have some good chunks.
    Taste and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Spread on soft
    bread, such as challah, foccacia, or pita bread, or this is
    delicious to make rollups with flat bread or flavored tortillas.
    Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

    If making rollups, make at least 8 hours ahead, store in an airtight
    container, then remove and slice into 1 inch slices.
