How to make greek vegetables
- Start by slicing your vegetables. For this recipe I used zucchini, bell pepper and red onion. You could also use a number of other vegetables, see below for suggestions!
- Preheat a large cast iron skillet or stainless steel skillet over medium heat until hot.
- Spray the skillet with non-stick spray (I love avocado oil or olive oil for this).
- Add the veggies and cook on medium to medium high heat for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the veggies are cooking, make the marinade by combining the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, garlic powder and salt in a small bowl.
- After 7 minutes of cooking, add the marinade to the vegetables and cook 3-4 minutes more.
