Add these yummy organic veggies to your backyard BBQ.
You can use any veggies in this recipe!
Enjoy as a side for dinner or a snack for lunch.
Ingredients:
1 Small eggplant – cut thin slices and soak in water for an hour (makes it more tender)
1 Cup pearl onions – soak in water for a few minutes, then peel them
1 Large pepper (I used sweet orange striped) – cut large strips
3 Medium carrots – peel and cut lengthwise strips
2 Medium zucchini – peel (leave some peel on if you like) cut thin lengthwise slices
2 Whole garlic heads – I LOVE GARLIC – soak in water for a few minutes, DO NOT peel
2 Teaspoons local honey – I used Hackensack Honey- Click here for more information on our raw honey.
¼ Cup extra virgin olive oil
½ Cup balsamic vinegar
¼ Cup panko breadcrumbs (adds a little crispy texture)
Kosher salt, fresh ground pepper to taste
Directions:
Mix the olive oil, panko breadcrumbs, balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon of honey.
Place all the veggies in grilling pan (you can use an indoor grill as well).
Add the olive oil mixture above and coat all well, salt and pepper to taste.
Cook on high for 15 minutes each side.
For the garlic, it should be soft inside. Remove from peel and place on dish with all veggies, drizzle balance of honey.
Serve with pita bread/chips and enjoy!
