Briami - Greek Vegetable Bake (Vegan, Gluten-free)
Description
Briami combines multiple vegetables—eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, and red onions—cut into bite-sized pieces and tossed with garlic, fresh parsley, thyme, oregano, tomato sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper. The vegetables are spread in a baking dish with some water added to aid cooking.
Baked at 200°C (392°F), the dish requires periodic stirring about every 15 to 20 minutes to ensure even roasting and prevent uneven cooking. After about 50-60 minutes, the vegetables become tender with a roasted texture. The blend of fresh and dried herbs enhances the natural flavors without overwhelming them.
Briami serves as a wholesome main or side dish, suitable for those following vegan or gluten-free diets, highlighting seasonal Mediterranean produce and simple seasoning. The absence of animal products or gluten-containing ingredients aligns with specific dietary needs without sacrificing taste.
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized (900 grams) eggplant
- 3 medium-sized (625 grams) zucchini
- 2 medium-sized (180 grams) red bell peppers sweet
- 1 large (130 grams) green bell pepper
- 1 medium-sized (140 grams) red onion
- 4-5 large garlic cloves
- 2 large (550 grams) potato
- 3 medium-sized (275 grams) carrot
- 1 medium-sized (175 gram) tomato ripe
- a handful parsley chopped, fresh
- 1 teaspoon thyme chopped fresh
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- ¼ cup (65 grams) tomato sauce
- 60 grams extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C / 392°F.
- Cut the eggplants, zucchinis, and peppers into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large mixing bowl.
- Cut the garlic in half or into 3 pieces if the garlic cloves are too large. Peel the potatoes and cut them into slightly smaller pieces than the other vegetables. Place in the bowl as well.
- Cut the onions and tomatoes into even smaller bite-sized pieces. Peel and cut the carrots into thick slices. Add to the bowl along with all other remaining ingredients and seasonings.
- Season with salt and pepper. Mix and toss everything for 2 minutes and then transfer to a 25 x 30 cm (10 x 12-inch) baking dish or pan.
- Add 60 ml of water to the pan as well.
- Bake for about 30 minutes. Then take the pan out of the oven and flip and stir the vegetables gently. Place the pan back in the oven. Then repeat stirring at 15 to 20 minute intervals until all veggies have cooked nicely all around. Overall cooking time takes about 50-60 minutes. NOTE: The stirring helps to cook the vegetables evenly so the ones at the top won't burn. It also helps the mixing of flavors.
- Let the food sit for 15 minutes before serving. Then you may serve it together with a big piece of feta and some crusty bread!
