Wash all the vegetables thoroughly and pat them dry.
Slice the zucchini and eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Cut the red bell peppers into large chunks, trim the woody ends off the asparagus, and cut the red onion into thick wedges.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Place all the vegetables in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the vegetables, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, preheat it over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
Grill the vegetables in batches, placing them directly on the grill grates or on the grill pan. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the grilled vegetables from the heat and transfer them to a serving platter.
Serve warm, room temperature, or chilled as a side dish or as part of a main course. Enjoy!
