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.

Awesome Greek vegetable recipe!
They look so fresh and vibrant. This is the best way to eat vegetables #freefromfridays
I was wondering what would go into the marinade. Looks so so good!! I need to go grocery shopping this week; veggies are high priority on the list!! Now pardon me as I blow up your notifications with comments…catching up after a crazy week last week! XOXO
This looks fantastic!!! Thank you for linking up last week to Creative K Kids’ Tasty Tuesdays. I have pinned all your posts to our Tasty Tuesdays Pinterest Board! I hope to see you again this week!
This sounds so good! I love the idea of putting them with an omelet. Yummy! Thanks for sharing on the Tasty Tuesday link up :)
This sounds like a great way to liven up some veggies!
This is my kind of dish!
props to you for posting a veggie recipe in the midst of all of this Christmas cookie madness! Veggies will never go out of style. I agree with ya, meal prep is so darn important when it comes to being healthy, it’s so much easier to make healthy choices when you literally have no time and already have something prepped in case! I don’t know if I would be able to save some for the next day, I know myself and I know that i would not be able to stop eating them!
Greek food is one of my favourite foods and we make these vegetables often. We put them in pita breads with some tzatziki and falafel.
YUM YUM YUM! I love this! …and I love that you’ve taken them from boring to “Can I have seconds?” That’s adorable!!
LOAD ME UP!!!! But seriously, LOVE Greek veggies :)
Whenever I see “greek” I always have to hold my breath since people always include feta and yucky things :P (Thankfully that’s an easy leave off in a recipe!), but this is perfectly perfect as is! Yum!
oh my gosh, I could literally just eat veggies like this all day long!! That mariade sounds super simple but crazy delicious at the same time! I’m always looking for new ways to cook and season veggies, so thanks for these!
Yum! You know I love my veggies! This is perfect too, because I’m always looking for new seasonings! My favorite indulgence was Pumpkin Puffins cereal! I’ve been wanting to try it for months but couldn’t find a box. Luckily, the grocery store had boxes this weekend!
I seriously have a vegetable problem, and this isn’t going to be helping! YUM
