Preheat the grill or grill pan to a medium heat, then lightly oil the grill surface to prevent sticking.
Once the grill is hot, arrange the seasoned vegetables on the grill. Be sure to grill in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Grill each side of the vegetables for 3-5 minutes or until they show grill marks and are tender but not overly mushy. Eggplant and peppers may take a little longer to cook than zucchini and tomatoes.
Once the vegetables are perfectly grilled, remove from the heat and transfer to a large baking dish or tray.
Step 4: Add the cheese:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) or set the grill to a low heat.
Grate the cheese and sprinkle generously over the grilled vegetables. Mozzarella works well for a melty, creamy finish, while feta adds a tangy, salty flavour if you’re looking for something different.
Place the vegetables in the oven or under the broiler for 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve:
Once the cheese is melted, remove the dish from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh chopped basil leaves for added color and flavor. Serve the grilled vegetables warm as a main course, side dish, or even as an appetizer.
