Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1 red onion, sliced into rings
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the sliced zucchini, bell pepper, onion, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms into a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly. Let the vegetables marinate for 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill the vegetables for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Cherry tomatoes may cook faster, so check them after 3-4 minutes.
- Once the vegetables are grilled, remove them from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter.
- Garnish with fresh basil and serve warm as a side dish, or add to salads, sandwiches, or wraps.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a bit of heat.
- You can customize the vegetable mix based on what’s in season or your preferences (e.g., eggplant, asparagus, or squash).
- If you don’t have a grill, you can also roast the vegetables in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes.
