Wash and pat dry all the vegetables. Trim the ends of the baby carrots, zucchini, and asparagus as needed. Leave the baby bell peppers whole if they are small, or cut them in half if they are larger.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Add the prepared vegetables to the bowl and toss until evenly coated in the oil and seasoning mixture.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Place the vegetables directly on the grill grates or in a grill basket. Grill for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and lightly charred in spots.
Transfer the grilled vegetables to a serving platter. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar for an optional burst of flavor.
Serve immediately as a side dish or light appetizer. Enjoy!
