    Briam is a Greek roasted vegetables dish cooked in olive oil. This easy and delicious recipe is made with just a few ingredients and is vegan, low carb and gluten free.

    I love comforting Mediterranean recipes that are made in one pan and are simple yet so delicious. This Greek roasted vegetables recipe also known as Briam is one of my go-to recipes that's perfect when you want something beyond classic roasted vegetables. Same as moussaka and pastitsio, this classic Greek recipe is made in the oven and is so comforting. 

    This dish is topped with tomatoes and onions for more flavor.

    What is Briam

    Briam, also known as Briami is a Greek roasted vegetable dish made with different vegetables including zucchini, tomatoes, onions and eggplants. What's special about this Greek style vegetable casserole is that it gets all its flavor from garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and most importantly, extra virgin olive oil. Once cooked, the vegetables are super tender and flavors are combined in the best way possible. 

    As simple as this vegan and gluten free dish is, it's the perfect combination of vegetables and herbs that makes a comforting meal. 

    The vegetables in this dish are flavored with olive oil and are soft and tender.

    Ingredients 

    Like our Mediterranean roasted vegetables and ratatouille, this briam recipe also calls for different types of vegetables and a few spices. Here are the ingredients you need:

    • Tomatoes
    • Potatoes
    • Zucchini
    • Eggplant
    • Red onion 
    • Olive oil 
    • Garlic
    • Salt, pepper and oregano
    • Parsley

    Eggplant is an optional item in this recipe but I find it to be a delicious addition to the vegetable combination. This is the perfect recipe to make when you have a few veggies in the fridge and want to use them up in the most delicious possible way. 

    To make Greek briam, you need onion, salt and pepper, tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, zucchini and olive oil.

    How to make Briam

    Prepare the vegetables

    Wash and dry all the vegetables. Thinly slice the tomatoes and onions and set them aside. Peel the potatoes and slice them. Slice the zucchinis and eggplants as well. 

    Assemble the dish

    Drizzle a little bit of olive oil at the bottom of the baking dish. Layer half of the tomatoes and onions at the bottom of the dish and season with minced garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Add in the sliced potatoes, eggplant and zucchini.

    Season well and then top with the remaining tomatoes and onions. Drizzle the olive oil all over the veggies and shake the dish just a little bit to make sure all is smothered in olive oil. 

    Bake and serve

    Cover the vegetables with an aluminum foil and tent it so it doesn't touch the vegetables. Bake at 400ºF for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 30 minutes or until the potatoes are fully cooked. 

    Briam is easy to make and topped with tomatoes and onions. Perfect for a light lunch or dinner.

    What to serve with this dish

    Greek Briam is a complete vegan meal on its own that's perfect for a healthy lunch or dinner. However, you can also serve it as a side dish alongside Greek grilled chicken, garlic chicken or even chicken gyro with a side of traditional Greek salad.

    Tips to make Greek roasted vegetables 

    • Make sure the vegetables are not too thin or too thick so they keep their shape while still being tender and fully cooked. 
    • Covering the vegetables with the aluminum foil will trap the steam inside which would help with baking therefore don't skip this step. 
    • You can make this dish ahead of time and reheat it in the oven right before serving. 
    • Store the leftovers in an air tight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in a preheated oven or in a pan over medium low heat.
