Grilled veggies

Grilled Veggies are great. They are easy to prepare and can be made well ahead of time when your busy preparing other dishes for your guests.

-2x large red peppers
-2x zucchini
-2 medium eggplants
-1 Tablespoon Olive oil
-1 teaspoon of balsamic
-1 teaspoon of oregano
-Salt and pepper to taste

Wash and pat dry your vegetables. Slice the red peppers in slivers 1-2 inch pieces. Slice the zucchini and eggplant in approx. 1/4" slices. Put your sliced vegetables in a large bowl add the olive oil, oregano and salt and pepper. Toss all the vegetables until well coated. If you see that the vegetables are not well coated just add a little more olive oil and balsalmic.

At this point there are two ways you can cook your vegetables.
1. cook them on a barbecue (medium heat) until they are still firm but tender.
2. in a pre-heated oven on the top rack 385 degrees. (20-25 minutes) until browned

tip: use parchment paper on a pizza tray if cooking your vegetables in the oven. It makes the cleanup quick as a snap!
