ROASTED SUMMER VEGETABLES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Trim the ends of the zucchinis and cut them diagonally in 3/4-inch-thick slices. (The slices will seem large, but they¿ll shrink while they cook.) Cut the peppers lengthwise in 1 1/2-inch-wide slices, discarding the core. Trim off the fennel stalks and cut the bulb through the core in 1-inch wedges. (Cutting through the core keeps the pieces intact.) Peel the onion and slice it in 1/4-inch-thick rounds, leaving the slices intact.
- Place the vegetables in groups on a sheet pan. Drizzle with the olive oil, add the garlic, and toss gently to be sure the vegetables are lightly coated with oil. Spread the vegetables in one layer on 2 sheet pans. (If they¿re crowded, they¿ll steam rather than roast.) Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and place the thyme sprigs on top. Roast for 15 minutes. Turn each piece and put the pans back in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, until all the vegetables are crisp-tender. Sprinkle with extra salt and serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:
- 1. Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in the bottom of a steamer. Steam the new potatoes until they are just tender through, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the steamer and reserve. Add the green beans to the steamer and steam until they are nearly tender through but still have their bright green color, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the steamer and reserve. Add the onions and the carrots and steam until both are nearly tender through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the steamer and reserve.
- 2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the peas, return to the boil and cook until the peas are sweet and tender but not quite cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Strain the peas and reserve.
- 3. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and toss until they are coated with oil, then add the remaining vegetables except for the peas and cook, tossing occasionally, until the vegetables are completely hot through, about 10 minutes. Add the peas and cook, tossing constantly, until they are hot through. Transfer the vegetables to a large, warmed serving bowl. Quickly mince the herbs and sprinkle over the vegetables, along with the fleur de sel and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Toss quickly and serve.
