Ingredients

• 2 whole red bell peppers
• 2 whole yellow bell peppers
• 1 large zucchini
• 1 medium eggplant
• 1 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup assorted olives
• 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts
• 4 slices prosciutto
• 4 slices salami
• 8 pieces fresh mozzarella balls
• 12 pieces grissini (Italian breadsticks)
• 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Slice the red and yellow bell peppers in half, removing the seeds and stems.

Step 3

Cut the zucchini and eggplant into 1/4-inch-thick slices.

Step 4

Lightly brush the bell peppers, zucchini, and eggplant with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 5

Grill the vegetables for 3-4 minutes per side, or until tender and lightly charred. Set aside to cool.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.

Step 7

Once the grilled vegetables have cooled, toss them in the marinade and let them sit for at least 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 8

Arrange the marinated vegetables as the base of the antipasto platter.

Step 9

Add the assorted olives, marinated artichoke hearts, prosciutto, salami, and fresh mozzarella balls to the platter in separate sections.

Step 10

Tuck in grissini (Italian breadsticks) for texture and crunch.

Step 11

Garnish the platter with fresh basil leaves for added color and aroma.

Step 12

Serve the antipasto platter at room temperature with extra olive oil and vinegar on the side, if desired.
