Mediterranean Grilled Garden Vegetables

Here is the recipe for last week's dish,


  • 1 red capsicum
  • 1 green capsicum - de-seed and cut into 3 cm square
  • 1 yellow capsicum
  • 1 carrot cut into slices of approx 0.8 cm thick
  • 2 red onion peeled and cut into quarters
  • 7 garlic with skin, squash with the heel of your hand
  • 10 cherry tomatoes
  • Black pepper freshly cracked
  • Sea salt 
  • Olive oil
  • A bunch of fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • A bunch of fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Baharat spices or 1 teaspoon freshly pounded coriander seeds

  1. Preheat oven at 200 deg Celsius.
  2. Put all the veg in a roasting tray. Scatter the Baharat spices or ground coriander, salt and black pepper. Drizzle with a generous amount of olive oil and toss to coat.
  3. Bake in the oven for about 20 to 25 mins or until vegetables are tender.
  4. Turn the vegetables a few time while grilling so that they cook evenly.

Serve with grilled chicken, meat or fish or simply with couscous. They make a delicious and nutritious meal.
