Ingredients
  

1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds

1 medium eggplant, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds

1 red bell pepper, cut into thick strips

1 yellow bell pepper, cut into thick strips

8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

1/4 cup balsamic glaze

3 tbsp olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp fresh basil, chopped (plus more for garnish)

Salt and pepper to taste

8 large fresh basil leaves (for layering)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, eggplant, and bell peppers. Drizzle with olive oil, then add the minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to taste. Toss everything well until the vegetables are evenly coated with seasoning.

    Grill the Vegetables: Arrange the seasoned vegetables on the hot grill. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are beautifully charred and tender. Take care not to overcook them to maintain their texture. Once grilled, remove the vegetables from the grill and set aside to cool slightly.

      Assemble the Stacks: On a serving plate or platter, begin constructing your veggie stacks. Start with one slice of grilled eggplant as the base. Layer on a slice of fresh mozzarella cheese, followed by a slice of zucchini, a grilled bell pepper strip, and a fresh basil leaf. Repeat the stacking process until all ingredients are used, alternating the order to create a visually appealing tower.

        Drizzle and Serve: Once all stacks are assembled, gently drizzle the tops with balsamic glaze and garnish with additional fresh basil leaves. For added flavor, feel free to sprinkle with a bit more salt and pepper to taste.

          Enjoy: Serve the stacks warm for a delightful appetizer or side dish, or refrigerate them for a refreshing cold option. Perfect for sharing with friends at gatherings!
