Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Wash all the vegetables thoroughly under running water.
- Cut the red peppers into strips, removing the seeds and stem.
- Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
- Cut the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into rounds or wedges around 1/4-inch thick.
- Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss all the chopped vegetables together.
- Add the finely chopped garlic, capers, vinegar, and spice mix. Toss well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
- Place the vegetables in a grill basket or directly on the grill grates.
- Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until all the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
- Keep an eye on the sweet potatoes, as they might take a bit longer to cook through.
- Once the vegetables are nicely grilled and tender, remove them from the grill.
- Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with some fresh herbs if desired.
- Drizzle with a light dressing of olive oil and a bit more vinegar, or sprinkle with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Tips:
- Cut the vegetables into even sizes to ensure they cook evenly on the grill.
- Marinate the vegetables for at least 30 minutes to enhance their flavor before grilling.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat to get those beautiful char marks without burning the vegetables.
- Use a grill basket or skewers to prevent smaller vegetable pieces from falling through the grill grates.
- Brush the vegetables with olive oil to prevent sticking and to help them achieve a nice, crispy exterior.
- Turn the vegetables occasionally to ensure they cook evenly on all sides.
- Sprinkle a bit of finishing salt or fresh herbs like parsley or basil right before serving for an extra layer of flavor.
