Mpriam - Vegetables Bake Recipe is a Traditional Greek Summer dish, consists of a big variety of baked vegetables, flavored with olive oil, tomato juice and spiced with black pepper, salt, cinnamon, and coriander. It is cooked on the wall of a hot oven, where it boils slightly up, then settles down into warm and soft chewiness. You must try out this recipe! Super easy, super nutritious and absolutely mouthwatering!
Needless to say, I can proudly say that my mum makes one of the best Mpriams ever.
Vegetables Bake Recipe Preparation
Use fresh vegetables as possible and cut into different shapes depending on their cooking ability. Cut the soft vegetables such as eggplant, zucchini, and onions into large pieces. Cut the harder vegetables into thin, small pieces, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes. Lastly, cut in small pieces the tomatoes and peppers.
This Mpriam consists of eggplants, potatoes, sweet potatoes, zucchini, green peppers onions, and garlic. Traditional Greek Mpriam does not consist of sweet potatoes. This my own addition to the dish. It makes it really special and species up all the rest of the flavors. Vegan, crispy, crunchy, aromatic, the perfect Vegan Summer food!! For the non-Vegans, you can add to the vegetables a mixture of 100 grams of feta cheese. Cut into small pieces and place it on your serving plate.

I was in Greece last July and I tried this dish in a few restaurants, I got obsessed with that!! ??
I tried to cook it last night without the potatoes. It came out very good!!
Can I make it without oil also???

Thank you, John, for your nice message! 🙂 Yes you can substitute the oil with veggie broth but half the quantity of the mentioned oil. Vegetables tend to bring out their juices as well.
