Embers-roasted vegetables are made by cooking whole or large-cut vegetables over hot embers until their skins blister and their centers soften. Turn them as they cook, then let them rest briefly in a covered bowl so the skins are easier to remove.
Eggplant, bell peppers, and tomatoes are classic choices for embers-roasted vegetables. Zucchini, onions, and mushrooms also work well; cut or choose vegetables of similar size so they cook at roughly the same pace.
Yes, you can make embers-roasted vegetables in an oven, though they will have less of the smoky flavor that comes from cooking over embers. Roast them at high heat until the skins blister and the flesh is tender, turning them for even cooking.
Usually, the charred skins of eggplant and peppers are peeled before serving embers-roasted vegetables, while tomato skins are optional. Let the vegetables cool slightly first; the skins should come away more easily. Eating the skin is not harmful, but it can taste strongly charred.
Embers-roasted vegetables pair well with grilled meat or fish, rice, and flatbread. They can also be served with yogurt or a garlic-yogurt sauce, which adds a cool, tangy contrast to their smoky flavor.
Olive oil, salt, and lemon are simple seasonings for embers-roasted vegetables. Garlic, parsley, or chili flakes also complement them. Add the seasoning after roasting so it does not burn over the embers or overwhelm the vegetables’ smoky taste.
Not exactly. Embers-roasted vegetables are cooked over glowing coals, often until their skins are deeply charred, while grilled vegetables are commonly cooked on a grate over direct heat. The methods overlap, but embers tend to give a more pronounced smoky flavor.
Use a clean, well-heated grate and turn the embers-roasted vegetables only after their skins have blistered and released more easily. Larger vegetables can also be cooked whole, which reduces the amount of flesh in direct contact with the grate.
Keep embers-roasted vegetables in a covered container in the refrigerator and use them within a few days. Cool them before storing, and take out only the portion you plan to serve so the rest is not repeatedly left at room temperature.
Yes, embers-roasted vegetables make a flavorful salad once peeled, chopped, and cooled. Toss them with olive oil, lemon, and herbs, or add them to leafy greens; keep the dressing light so the smoky flavor remains noticeable.

Embers-roasted vegetables are cooked directly over hot embers until tender, with skins that may blister and char. In Turkey, the mix varies with the season and the cook; aubergine, peppers, tomatoes and onions are common choices, rather than a fixed recipe.
Their smoky sweetness and soft texture make them a natural meze or side, often dressed with olive oil, lemon and herbs. They also work in salads, grain bowls or alongside grilled foods. This is a low-calorie way to add fibre and vitamin C; a 100 g portion has 32 calories. For a lighter serving, use just enough oil to coat the vegetables and add fresh greens.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
