Briam (Greek Baked Zucchini and Potatoes) image

Briam is a traditional Greek roasted vegetable dish with potatoes, zucchini, tomatoes, and red onions with lots of olive oil. It is a typical example of Greek cuisine where a few simple ingredients are turned into an utterly delicious dish with little effort. It can be served as a main course. With olive oil as the only source of fat it is a quintessential example of the Mediterranean diet, and it is vegan to boot. If preferred, serve with a hearty chunk of feta on the side.

  • Use a sharp knife: When cutting the zucchini, use a sharp knife to ensure clean, even slices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the zucchini, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the zucchini from cooking evenly.
  • Season the zucchini: Before cooking the zucchini, season it with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.

  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The zucchini will become soggy if it sits for too long.
