Ingredients

• 2 large zucchini
• 2 large yellow squash
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 1 large red onion
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium lemon
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion. Cut the zucchini and yellow squash into thick slices. Slice the bell peppers into wide strips and the red onion into thick rounds.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, the juice and zest of the lemon, garlic powder, lemon pepper seasoning, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 3

Add the sliced vegetables to the mixing bowl and toss until they are well coated in the marinade.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, brush it lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Place the vegetables directly on the grill grates or on the grill pan. Grill each side for 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender with slight grill marks.

Step 6

Remove the vegetables from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and garnish.

Step 7

Serve warm as a side dish or over a bed of quinoa or rice for a complete meal.
