herbs & oil Place all the vegetables on a large platter. Season well with pepper and salt and drizzle with olive oil.

grilling Grill the vegetables briefly and vigorously on a hot barbecue until they have nice grill marks and are just cooked. Keep them slightly undercooked for that nice texture.

It's best to grill the vegetables à la minute, but you can cut and season them beforehand.
Leftovers? Let them cool and store in the refrigerator. Delicious in a lunch bowl or as a topping on toast.
