Why This Recipe Is A Must Try

This dish combines smoky grilled vegetables with the creamy, salty flavor of feta cheese. It’s light, healthy, and full of Mediterranean flair. Perfect for warm-weather meals or as a vibrant side dish any time of year.

Helpful Kitchen Tips

- Make sure the grill is hot before adding the vegetables to get nice char marks.
- Brush the eggplant and peppers with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
- Let the grilled vegetables rest for a few minutes before topping with feta to keep them juicy.

Directions

Get your grill heating up on high and give the grates a quick brush with some oil so nothing sticks. Toss the eggplant and all the bell peppers in a big bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with steak seasoning. Give everything a good toss so it’s all nicely coated. Lay the eggplant and pepper slices right on the grill. Let them cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, turning every few minutes so they get those nice grill marks and soften up without burning. If things start to get too hot, just turn the heat down a bit. Once they’re nicely charred and tender, take them off the grill. Pile up the slices on a plate, alternating between eggplant and different colored peppers. Finish by crumbling some feta over the top and sprinkle with fresh basil and oregano. Serve it warm and enjoy!

Serving Advice

Serve alongside couscous, quinoa, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal. It also works great as a topping for toasted bread or as part of a mezze platter with olives and hummus.

How To Freeze This Dish

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently or enjoy cold as a flavorful salad. Keep the feta separate if possible to maintain its texture.

Turned out tasty but I used too much oil on the grill. Next time, I’ll dial it back a bit. Still good overall.
