Ingredients

4 servings

1 large eggplant, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds ½ red bell pepper, seeded and sliced lengthwise into 4 strips ¼ cup olive oil 1 tablespoon steak seasoning (such as Montreal Steak Seasoning®) ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese ¼ cup chopped fresh basil 1 tablespoon ground oregano

Chicken and Vegetable Pasta Stir-Fry

Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating your grill to a high temperature and give the grate a light brush of oil to keep things from sticking. Toss the eggplant and all the bell peppers in a big bowl, drizzle them with olive oil, and sprinkle on the steak seasoning—make sure everything gets a good coating. Place the eggplant and pepper slices directly on the hot grill. Let them cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, turning every few minutes so they get those nice grill marks and soften up without burning. If the heat feels too intense, just turn it down a bit. Once everything is tender and beautifully charred, take them off the grill. Arrange the veggies on a plate in four stacks, layering eggplant and peppers and including a slice of each color in every pile. Finish by sprinkling crumbled feta on top, along with some fresh basil and oregano. Serve everything warm and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

Serve alongside grilled meats or as part of a fresh salad spread. It also works great with warm pita bread or drizzled with a bit of balsamic glaze for extra tang. Adding fresh herbs like parsley or mint can brighten the dish.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently or enjoy cold as a flavorful salad. To keep the feta from drying out, add it fresh when serving rather than storing it mixed in.
