Greek Briam (Summer Vegetables Baked in Olive Oil)

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Step 2

Make sure when cutting the vegetables, they are kept in large pieces. This will allow them to hold their shape even when cooked down to a soft texture.

Step 3

To a mixing bowl add all of the vegetables, fresh herbs, dried herbs, salt, pepper, olive oil, and tomato paste. Mix well with your hands until the vegetables are completely coated.

Step 4

Carefully pour the vegetables onto a sheet pan evenly, then drizzle the water onto all of the vegetables.

Step 5

Put the sheet pan into the oven and set a timer for 1 hour.

Step 6

After 30 minutes has gone by, using a spatula carefully flip over the vegetables.

Step 7

After an hour total has gone by, check the briam and make sure the potatoes are completely cooked and there's a nice golden caramelization on the vegetables. If there isn't, bake for 10 more minutes.
