Ingredients

• Zucchini - 1 medium (about 200g)
• Eggplant - 1 medium (about 250g)
• Red bell pepper - 1 medium (about 150g)
• Yellow bell pepper - 1 medium (about 150g)
• Red onion - 1 medium (about 150g)
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 4 tablespoons
• Fresh thyme - 1 teaspoon, chopped
• Fresh basil - 1 teaspoon, chopped
• Salt - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat the grill to medium heat (about 180-200°C / 350-400°F).
2. Wash and slice the zucchini and eggplant into 1 cm thick rounds.
3. Core and slice the bell peppers into strips.
4. Peel and slice the red onion into wedges.
