Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 1 large eggplant
• 2 bell peppers
• 1 large red onion
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves fresh garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.75 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry all vegetables. Slice the zucchini and eggplant into thin rounds. Cut the bell peppers into thick strips and the red onion into wedges. Leave the cherry tomatoes whole.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Whisk well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add all the prepared vegetables to the bowl with the marinade. Toss gently to ensure all the vegetables are well-coated. Marinate for at least 10 minutes while you preheat the grill.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F). For ease of grilling, thread smaller pieces like cherry tomatoes onto skewers.

Step 5

Place the vegetables directly on the grill grates or use a grill basket to prevent smaller pieces from falling through. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until you see nice char marks and the vegetables are tender. Rotate skewers as needed.

Step 6

Once the vegetables are cooked, remove them from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 7

Optional: Sprinkle the grilled vegetables with crumbled feta cheese and garnish with fresh parsley for added flavor and presentation.

Step 8

Serve warm as a side dish or over rice, quinoa, or as part of a pita wrap for a main course.
