  • Clean and remove the stem of the portobello mushrooms.
  • Wash and slice eggplant approx. 0.5 cm thick. Sprinkle some salt on top and leave it on a paper towel for a couple of minutes. Pat it dry before grilling.
  • To build the perfect stack, cut all other veggies to match the size of the mushroom and eggplant discs.
  • Wash and peel sweet potatoes. Cut them horizontally to get 0.5 cm thick slices.
  • Wash zucchini. No need to peel them. Cut them horizontally to get 0.5 cm thick slices.
  • Peel and slice the onion to create discs.
  • Wash and slice the bell pepper to the size of the eggplant.
  • Grill the vegetables
  • In a seperate bowl, mix oil, oregano, and basil to make a quick marinade.
  • Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Add a bit of oil.
  • Add as many vegetables as you can spread in one layer. Season them with salt and pepper. Brush the top of the vegetables with the marinade. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side.
  • Assemble the vegetable Napoleon, by layering the veggies in your preferred order. Top the stack with sprouts or fresh herbs. Serve it with pesto.
