Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.

- Arrange the capsicums and zucchini around the eggplants, placing them cut sides up.
- Brush the vegetables lightly with the oil.
- Scatter the garlic, anchovies and chopped rosemary over the vegetables, and add seasoning to taste.
- Roast the vegetables for 25–30 minutes.
- Cover the vegetables with foil and roast for a further 10–15 minutes or until they are tender.
- Transfer the cooked vegetables to a large dish, layering them neatly, then drizzle the cooking juices over them.
- Whisk the dressing ingredients together and pour over the vegetables.
