Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Greek Baked Zucchini and Potatoes (Briam).
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab a large baking dish—ideally around 9x13 inches or larger—and layer in your sliced potatoes, zucchini, and vibrant red onions.
Step 3
These colorful veggies will create a beautiful base for your dish.
Step 4
Next, pour the luscious puréed tomatoes over the top, allowing their rich flavor to seep into the vegetables.
Step 5
Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil for that extra touch of goodness, and if you have some on hand, sprinkle chopped parsley for a fresh pop of color and flavor.
Step 6
Don’t forget to season everything generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance those delicious tastes.
Step 7
Now, gently toss the vegetables to ensure they’re all coated in that delightful tomato mixture, making sure every bite is bursting with flavor.
Step 8
Place your baking dish in the preheated oven and let it bake for an hour.
Step 9
After that, give the mixture a gentle stir and let it bake for another 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the moisture has beautifully evaporated, leaving you with a wonderfully rich dish.
Step 10
Once it’s done, allow your briam to cool slightly before serving, or savor it at room temperature for a delightful experience.
Step 11
Enjoy this comforting dish that’s perfect for sharing with family and friends!.
