Grilled Vegetables

I know this is easy…but it’s taken me a stupid amount of time to get this right. I think I’ve been mixing too many vegetables up in the past – ones that don’t have a similar water quantity so they cook at different times. Now I’m sure that you can put them in the oven at different points but I either forget, or seem to get the timings wrong. So when grilling vegetables I stick to ones that take a similar cooking time and have a similar density.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Grilled Vegetables

Grilled vegetables are a great addition to any meal. We love them all year round. These are 'free from' pretty much everything but olive oil!
By:
Ingredients
  • 3 courgettes
  • 3 red, yellow or orange peppers or a mix (I don't like green!)
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar or demerara sugar
  • 3 medium Portobello mushrooms plus 1 tablespoon dairy free margarine
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C, 390°F
Step 2
Slice the courgettes lengthwise to get a long slice of the vegetable – about 3 mm thick will do. I don’t like them in little circles – they disappear to nothing.
Step 3
Chop the peppers into quarters, and then cut each quarter in half (lengthwise). Again so you’ve a long slice of pepper that’s similar shape to the courgette.
Step 4
Toss the vegetables in olive oil. Sprinkle the demerara sugar over them and toss again.
Step 5
Put 1 tablespoon of oil in a roasting pan and pop it into the oven for 5 minutes
Step 6
When the oil is hot toss in the vegetables – the pan should sizzle a bit.
Step 7
Put the mushrooms in the pan as well – dotted with dairy free margarine. They will just sit there and cook untouched.
Step 8
After 10 minutes turn the courgettes and peppers over, and continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes or until the vegetables are caramelised and brown at the edges.
Step 9
Serve warm, or at room temperature with hummus and flatbread.
