Start by preparing the vegetables. Cut the red bell pepper into large chunks, about 1-inch pieces. Slice the zucchini and yellow squash into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Quarter the red onion. Trim the tough ends off the asparagus. Clean the mushrooms and slice in half if they are large.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared vegetables.
Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated in the oil and seasonings.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Place a grill basket on the grill grates and let it heat up for a few minutes.
Transfer the seasoned vegetables into the hot grill basket. Spread them out into a single layer for even grilling.
Close the grill lid and cook the vegetables for about 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and have grill marks.
Once the vegetables are grilled to your liking, remove them from the grill and transfer them back to the mixing bowl.
Drizzle the grilled vegetables with a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and gently toss to combine.
Serve the grilled veggies hot as a side dish or as a topping for grilled proteins, pasta, or grain bowls.
