Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Zucchini
- 2 medium Red bell pepper
- 3 medium Yellow squash
- 1 large Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly.
Trim the ends off the zucchini and yellow squash. Slice them lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
Halve the red bell peppers, remove the seeds and stems, and cut into thick strips.
Peel and slice the red onion into 1/2-inch-thick rounds, keeping the layers intact for grilling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk to create a marinade.
Add the prepared zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, and red onion to the bowl. Toss until all vegetables are evenly coated with the marinade.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the vegetables on the grill in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until grill marks appear and the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove the vegetables from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle the grilled vegetables with fresh lemon juice, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve warm or at room temperature.
