Serves: 4
Ingredients
For the vegetables:
2 medium-sized Japanese eggplants, sliced into ½ inch rounds
3-4 medium-sized zucchini and/or squash, sliced into ½ inch rounds
olive oil
Kosher salt
For the vinagrette:
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons za'atar
Instructions
Whether you're using a grill or just a grill pan, the key to getting the vegetables nice and tasty is lots and lots of olive oil. If using a pan, you can heat the oil in the pan before placing the slices on top. With a grill, make sure you brush the vegetable slices generously with olive oil before grilling.
Grill vegetables in a single layer, working in batches if needed, until they're soft and nicely charred. Salt the vegetables as you go. Flip and cook on other side. Transfer to a bowl and continue until all slices are cooked.
In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients for vinagrette. Drizzle over vegetables right before serving.
