This is one of my favorite things to make in the late summer—a gorgeous platter that’s really less work than it may seem at first glance. It’s an extravaganza of flavor, and though it’s perfect for late summer or early fall, with these particular veggies there’s no reason you can’t make it year-round.

Cooks' Note

If you can’t find Japanese eggplants, substitute any small eggplant (try white or the magenta and white streaked varieties), halved lengthwise and sliced.
