Roast vegetables, stirring every 5 minutes, until almost tender, 25 minutes.

Add tomatoes. continue roasting, stirring once or twice, until all vegetables are tender, 10 to 12 minutes more.

Meanwhile, make aioli: In food processor, combine basil and garlic and process until finely chopped. Add lemon juice. Gradually add mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon at a time, until mixture is well blended.

Remove vegetables from oven and transfer to serving platter. Serve warm with aioli on the side.
