Sweet and Sour Roasted Pineapple and Peppers

This dish is ridiculously simple, but really tasty. Put onions, peppers, and pineapple in a pan. Put some stuff on them. Roast them for a while. Put a little more stuff on them, and you're in business. It can't get any easier than that. Eat it by itself as a side dish, or serve over rice for a light meal and savor how little work was done for such a sweetly satisfying dish.
