Ingredients
Instructions
If you have time, sprinkle the eggplant slices with kosher salt and place them in a colander for 20 minutes to draw out bitterness and excess moisture. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels before grilling.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates. Place all prepared vegetables (eggplant, peppers, squash, asparagus, tomatoes) on a large sheet pan. Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss gently to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Place vegetables on the heated grill. Cook times vary by vegetable: - Sweet mini peppers: ~15 minutes - Yellow squash and eggplant: 8-9 minutes - Asparagus and Campari tomatoes: 5-6 minutes Turn occasionally but let them sit long enough to develop nice char marks. Remove each type of vegetable as it becomes tender and charred.
Arrange the grilled vegetables on a large serving platter. Sprinkle evenly with za'atar and sumac. Drizzle the lemony dressing over the top. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, basil, and crumbled feta cheese if using. Serve warm or at room temperature.
