You can use any type of nut, add or subtract your own vegetables and use any herbs in place of basil (such as parsley or rosemary). Remove extra garlic cloves from the skin and place in a shallow dish or on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for future use.

Place a few whole bulbs of fresh garlic in dish with tomatoes, and then put the peppers in the dish. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp. of the grapeseed oil. Roast vegetables in oven for 25-30 minutes or until soft. Remove skin from tomatoes and two garlic cloves.
