Briam
Briam is my culinary love letter to summer days, when the market overflows with ripe, colorful veggies. It's a simple, fragrant dish that I turn to when I need a little bit of sunshine on my plate.

I first stumbled upon Briam during a trip to Greece, and it instantly became a staple in my kitchen.
There's something magical about how the vegetables caramelize together, each bite a little harmony of flavor.
I learned that slicing the veggies really thinly helps them roast evenly and get that lovely, tender texture.
This recipe is my reminder of warm evenings spent with good friends and even better food.

Ingredients & Substitutions
If eggplant isn't your thing, I've swapped it with zucchini, and it turned out great. Fresh basil or thyme adds a beautiful aroma if you have them on hand. And if you're out of potatoes, sweet potatoes bring a nice sweetness that complements the other veggies.
Tips & Notes
- •I like to use a mandoline to get my veggies nice and thin—makes for a quicker cooking time and lovely texture.
- •After roasting, let it sit for a few minutes; it somehow tastes even better once it’s had a moment to rest.
- •I store leftovers in a ceramic dish with a lid that my grandmother gave me—it keeps the flavors vibrant for days.
Recipe Variations
- •If I'm feeling indulgent, I sometimes add a handful of olives for a salty kick.
- •My partner loves when I sprinkle some crumbled vegan feta on top before serving.
