Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 2 medium Yellow squash
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 large Red onion
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly under running water.
Slice the zucchini and yellow squash into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Cut the red and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch wide strips.
Slice the red onion into 1/2-inch thick rounds and keep the layers together to make it easier for grilling.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the zucchini, yellow squash, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and onion slices to the bowl. Toss everything gently to ensure all veggies are well coated in the marinade.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the vegetables marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375–400°F (190–200°C). If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat.
Brush the grill grates or grill pan with a little olive oil to prevent the vegetables from sticking.
Place the vegetables on the grill, using tongs. Grill the zucchini, squash, bell peppers, and onion slices for 3–5 minutes per side or until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Grill the cherry tomatoes for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until slightly blistered.
Remove the vegetables from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Sprinkle the grilled vegetables with fresh parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.
