Mediterranean TrayBake

Found as a giffy recipe on Reddit. Really bland name, but possibly because it's from a British website. Original recipe here. I'd call this more a "roasted" than "baked" dish, lots of vegetables tossed with bread and olive oil and roasted. Recipe calls for leaving tomatoes on the vine which is pointless, I'd remove them. You could probably add some kind of protein also (some Redditors suggested tuna, not sure about that). Roasted vegetables in olive oil is very simple and really good.

Ingredients

100g Asparagus (1/4 lb)
2 Red Onions
Handful of Basil
1 Loaf of Ciabatta
