Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds zucchini
- 2 medium, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds yellow squash
- 1 large, cut into 1-inch strips red bell pepper
- 1 large, cut into 1-inch strips yellow bell pepper
- 1 large, cut into thick wedges red onion
- 1 bunch, trimmed asparagus
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons, softened unsalted butter
- 2 ounces, crumbled blue cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon, freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat on the stovetop.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion, and asparagus with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Place the vegetables on the preheated grill or grill pan in a single layer. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until lightly charred and tender. Cook in batches if necessary.
While the vegetables are grilling, prepare the blue cheese butter. In a medium bowl, mix the softened butter, blue cheese, garlic powder, fresh parsley, and lemon juice until well combined. Chill in the refrigerator if desired.
Once the vegetables are cooked, transfer them to a serving platter. Top with small dollops of the blue cheese butter so it melts over the warm vegetables.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Vegetable Medley with Blue Cheese Butter!
