Ingredients:

2 red peppers
160g
2 zucchini
400g
1 eggplant
450g
1.50 sweet potatos
300g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 tbsp capers
30g
2 tbsp vinegar
30g
1 tsp spice mix
5g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Wash all the vegetables thoroughly under running water.
2. Chop Vegetables:
- 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.
3. Seasoning:
- 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.
4. Grilling:
- 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.
5. Serving:
- 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.
6. Optional:
- 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.
