Directions
Warm your grill to high and give the grate a light oiling so nothing sticks. Toss the eggplant and all the bell peppers in a big bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle on some steak seasoning—make sure everything is well coated. Place the eggplant and pepper slices directly on the grill and cook them for about 15 to 20 minutes, turning every few minutes so they get those nice grill marks and soften up without burning. Once they’re tender and lightly charred, take them off the grill. Pile the veggies on plates, alternating between eggplant and the different colored peppers so each serving has a bit of everything. Finally, crumble some feta on top and sprinkle with fresh basil and oregano. Serve it warm and enjoy!
Serving Tips
Serve warm or at room temperature alongside crusty bread or a fresh green salad. It also makes a great topping for grilled meats or can be tossed with cooked pasta for a simple meal.
Storing Food Safely
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or enjoy cold. The flavors often develop and improve after a day.
