Impress your dinner guests with this super-flavourful and beautiful appetizer that relies on many of the healthful ingredients of the Mediterranean, including chickpeas, yogurt and vegetables. While it's a great beginning to your meal, it also makes a brilliant side dish for chicken, fish or other meats. Vegetables dry out a little when they hit the heat so adding a light coat of cooking spray will keep them moister while adhering the salt to the vegetables and keep them from sticking to the foil. The foil will make for easier clean-up while protecting the vegetables from the flames.
