Top the vegetables with pureed tomatoes, olive oil, and parsley, then season generously with sea salt and pepper. Toss everything to ensure the vegetables are well coated.

Place in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour. Stir gently, then bake for an additional 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the liquid has evaporated.
Cooking Tip
If the vegetables seem too dry after the first hour of baking, add up to 1/4 cup of water. Be careful not to add too much, as you want the dish to be dry by the end of cooking.
Allow the briam to cool slightly before serving, or enjoy it at room temperature.
Cook's Tip:
To purée the tomatoes, simply cut them in half and grate them on a coarse box grater, discarding the skin.
It may seem like a long time in the oven, but trust me—it’s worth it. The flavor really develops during this time, and you’ll want those crispy, charred edges for the best taste.
Don’t shy away from seasoning with salt and pepper. Be generous for the best flavor. Start with your usual amount, and you can always adjust after the first hour of baking.
