How to make Briami – Greek roasted vegetables
Briam is easy to make! Moreover, if you don’t want to bother arranging the vegetables neatly in rows, feel free to spread them out flat on a large baking pan; it’ll still turn out delicious. But here’s how I make it…
First step: Slice the veggies
Ensure the vegetables are thinly sliced to ensure even cooking. Since my aubergine was large, I halved it before slicing.
Second step: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Third step: Prepare the marinade
Finely chop fresh herbs, thyme, oregano and parsley. In a small bowl, whisk them with minced garlic and olive oil.
