Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Wash and prepare the vegetables by slicing the zucchini and red onion into 1/4-inch thick rounds and cutting the bell peppers into strips. Keep the cherry tomatoes whole.
In a large bowl, combine sliced vegetables and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until all the vegetables are evenly coated.
Place the vegetables on the preheated grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they develop grill marks and are slightly tender. Cherry tomatoes may cook slightly faster; be careful not to overcook them.
Once the vegetables are grilled, transfer them to a large baking sheet or oven-safe dish in a single layer.
Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the grilled vegetables.
Preheat your oven's broiler on high and place the dish under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish or a light main course with crusty bread.
