The specified amount makes a large portion. Any vegetables that don’t fit on the baking sheet can be stored in a bowl in the refrigerator for a few days and enjoyed later. Preheat the oven to 225°C (top/bottom heat). Arrange the rosemary sprigs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Quarter the onions and separate the onion slices. Cut the eggplant into 1 cm thick slices. Cut the carrots, potatoes, and sweet potatoes into 0.5 cm thick slices. Cut the bell peppers into small pieces. Quarter the mushrooms. Cut the tofu into 1 cm cubes. Drain the vegetables and beans from the jars in a sieve and add them to the baking sheet. Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces and scatter over the vegetables. Press the garlic over the vegetables using a garlic press and add the remaining garlic to the baking sheet. Season the vegetables generously with salt, pepper, and Provençal herbs, and drizzle with olive oil (you will need about 100-200 ml for this amount). Bake everything in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes on the middle rack. Stir the roasted vegetables once or twice. Caution: The rosemary and pickled tomatoes shouldn’t be on top of the baking sheet, as they will quickly brown. Optionally, you can add a herb baguette to the oven for the last 10 minutes of baking. A dry red wine goes well with the roasted vegetables.
