1/2 cup basil leaves
3.50g
2 red peppers
160g
3 large zucchini
900g
1 eggplant
450g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g

Instructions:

1. Prep the Vegetables:
- Peel the red onions and cut them into thick rings.
- Cut the red peppers into halves, remove seeds and membranes, and then slice into large strips.
- Slice the zucchinis lengthwise into thick strips.
- Cut the eggplant into thick rounds or lengthwise into strips, whichever you prefer.
2. Marinate Onions:
- Place the red onion rings in a bowl.
- Add 2 tablespoons of vinegar and mix well to coat.
- Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the other vegetables.
3. Grill the Vegetables:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Lightly spray the grill with cooking spray oil to prevent sticking.

4. Grilling Process:
- Brush the red peppers, zucchinis, and eggplant slices lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Place the marinated red onions, red peppers, zucchini strips, and eggplant slices on the grill.
- Grill each side for about 4-5 minutes or until they have nice char marks and are tender, turning once halfway through.
5. Assemble the Platter:
- Once all the vegetables are grilled, arrange them on a large serving platter.
- Drizzle any remaining olive oil over the top if desired.
6. Garnish:
- Scatter the basil leaves generously over the grilled vegetables.
7. Serve:
- Serve the Char-grilled Veggie Platter warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

- For even cooking, slice all the vegetables uniformly.

- Marinating the vegetables in olive oil and vinegar for at least 15 minutes before grilling can enhance their flavor.

- Keep an eye on the grill; vegetables can cook quickly and you don't want them to burn.

- Using a grilling basket can help prevent smaller vegetables from falling through the grill grates.

- Garnish with fresh basil leaves just before serving to add a pop of color and freshness.
