4 spicy Serrano chiles Optional

Greek Marinated Grilled Vegetables, Preparation

First, you will need to decide if you will be using an outside charcoal or gas BBQ, or an indoor stove top grill. For me, a charcoal grill will give the best flavor, although the coals will need to be lit first, as they need about 30 minutes to be ready.
Cut all vegetables into 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick slices, pieces that won´t fall through the grill.
In a large glass bowl add the oil, spices, and the vegetable slices and mix with a large spoon.
Once the vegetables are thoroughly coated with the spice mix they can be cooked immediately, or marinated for up to 30 minutes.
Use steel tongs to place the veggie slices on the grill. Cook on the first side long enough to show grill lines then flip to cook the other side. Constant attention is required here as some veggies will cook faster then others, and some may need to be flipped a second time.
As they cook remove veggies to a clean plate.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the grilled vegetables ¨hot¨ as a side dish, use as a topping for pizza, or combined with cheese in a hot panini sandwich.
