When you have a plethora of vegetables, there are only so many things you can do with them without getting tired of the same old thing. I tend to make a lot of soups from vegetables, but sometimes I want the taste of something grilled. This recipe is nice because you can even do it if you have a small oven or toaster oven, or even just a small amount of vegetables to grill.

Olive oil

Choose good quality olive oil, always. And nice and aromatic fresh and/or dried herbs like oregano or thyme (my favorite is the Turkish kekik).

Simply cut the vegetables all the same size so that they cook evenly.

Grilling Vegetables with Oregano 1

Add some sea salt and drizzle generously with olive oil. You’ll save that oil for your salad and not waste a drop, so don’t worry.

Pouring Olive Oil on Vegetables

Grill at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes (keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t burn, as some will ultimately cook a little faster than others).

Vegetables in Oven

They look so delicious and curl up so nicely. I like to add tomatoes, peppers, onions, eggplant.

When they’re out of the oven, I simply throw them all into a bowl, olive oil included. It makes a great side dish to meat or fish, or simply eat on its own with rustic bread.

It’s also pretty, so it’s nice to serve in a glass bowl for guests so they can see how pretty it is, too, from any vantage point of the dinner table.
