Ingredients

1 large red onion, halved and cut into 1/4-inch slices

1-1/4 pounds zucchini or yellow squash, or a mixture, cut into 1/4-inch slices

9 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus additional for drizzling

4 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled, divided

Kosher salt

2 pounds eggplant, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 red bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch slices

4 cups cherry tomatoes

1-1/2 pounds Alaska sole (flounder) fillets, thawed

Freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup crushed, pitted and chopped Castlevetrano or other mild green olives

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Lemon wedges

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425° F. On one large, rimmed sheet pan, combine the onion, squash, and 2 garlic cloves. Toss with 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt and spread into one layer. On a second large, rimmed sheet pan, combine the eggplant, bell pepper, remaining garlic, and toss with another 1 teaspoon salt and 5 tablespoons olive oil. Spread into one layer. Roast both trays, placing each on its own rack, for 30-40 minutes, stirring 2 to 3 times or until soft and starting to brown.

Step 2

Add the tomatoes to the eggplant sheet pan and toss. Roast another 15 to 20 minutes or until tomatoes burst.

Step 3

Combine the eggplant mixture with the squash mixture in one sheet pan, add the olives and spread into a single layer.

Step 4

Pat the sole dry, fold the thin ends under and place on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle the fish with the thyme, season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Bake until fish is cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
