Ingredients

• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper
• 1 large Red onion
• 8 large Mushrooms
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry all the vegetables.

Step 2

Cut the zucchini and yellow squash into thick slices about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 3

Core the bell peppers and slice them into large strips.

Step 4

Peel and slice the red onion into thick rings.

Step 5

Trim the stems of the mushrooms and leave them whole.

Step 6

If using wooden skewers for the cherry tomatoes, soak them in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning on the grill. Alternatively, you can use a grill basket.

Place all the prepared vegetables in a large mixing bowl.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 9

Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly. Let the vegetables marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 10

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly coat the grates with cooking spray.

Step 11

Arrange the vegetables directly on the grill grates or use a grill basket for smaller items like cherry tomatoes and onion rings.

Step 12

Grill the vegetables for 3-5 minutes per side, or until charred and tender, turning carefully with tongs to avoid burning.

Step 13

Remove the vegetables from the grill and place them on a serving platter.

Step 14

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 15

Serve warm as a side dish or pair with your favorite protein for a complete meal.
