Greek Roasted Vegetables – Tourlou Tourlou
A staple food in most Greek households, Greek Roasted Vegetables, or “Tourlou Tourlou” (meaning “all mixed up”) is our version of the French ratatouille dish. An assortment of fresh vegetables — eggplant, zucchini, potatoes, green beans, onion, garlic, and crushed tomato — roasted vegetables are sure to knock your socks off.
Greek Roasted Vegetables are Delicious and Healthy!
Better yet, Greek Roasted Vegetables are a healthy dish that is full of flavor! Don’t take it from me, even the Mayo Clinic and other authorities tout the Mediterranean diet as one of the most heart healthy eating plans that you an follow!
Melt in Your Mouth Goodness!
Flavored with dill, onions and garlic, the slow cooking of Greek Roasted Vegetables brings out the sweet, melt in your mouth flavor of each vegetable. If dill isn’t your thing, feel free to use parsley and mint as an alternative.
A Perfect Meal Plan Option!
If you meal plan, cook up a huge batch of this dish and eat it throughout the week. It goes great with any type of protein. I like to serve this with roast chicken, salmon filets, or pork tenderloin. Serve as a main dish with a side of crusty bread and a Greek salad, too.

Looks delicious
SPOT ON! I make tourlou frequently, but I’m always looking for variations. Of course, I used other veggies, etc. However, I’m always concerned about the roasting time. This was perfect. Thanks again.
