Ingredients
  

1 cup assorted cured meats (e.g., prosciutto, salami, chorizo)

1 cup assorted cheeses (e.g., aged cheddar, brie, blue cheese)

1 cup mixed roasted vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant)

1/2 cup marinated olives (green and black)

1/2 cup honey or fig jam

1 cup mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans)

1 cup fresh fruits (e.g., grapes, apple slices, figs)

1 baguette or a selection of crackers

Fresh herbs for garnish (e.g., rosemary or thyme)

Drizzle of balsamic glaze

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Roast the Vegetables: Chop the bell peppers, zucchini, and eggplant into bite-sized pieces. Toss them in a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized, turning halfway through for even roasting.

      Prepare the Meats and Cheeses: While the vegetables are roasting, arrange the assorted cured meats on a large wooden board or platter. Fold the slices for a visually appealing presentation. Next, cut the cheeses into wedges or cubes and place them strategically around the meats.

        Add the Nuts and Fruits: Portion the mixed nuts into small bowls and add them to the board. Wash and dry the fresh fruits, then arrange them around the cheeses and meats.

          Incorporate the Olives: Use a small bowl to hold the marinated olives and place it on the board.

            Honey or Fig Jam: Add a small bowl of honey or fig jam to your charcuterie board for a sweet contrast to the savory elements.

              Prepare the Bread: Slice the baguette into thin rounds and arrange them on the board. You can also include a variety of crackers for additional texture.

                Finishing Touches: Once the roasted vegetables are done, let them cool slightly, then add them to the board. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the roasted veggies for an extra layer of flavor.

                  Garnish: Finish the presentation with fresh herbs for a pop of color and aroma.

                    Serve: Finally, bring the charcuterie board to the table, making sure to have cheese knives and toothpicks handy for easy serving.
