Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 2 medium Red bell peppers
- 1 large Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). If using a grill pan, place it on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
Wash and dry all the vegetables. Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds or lengthwise slices. Cut the red bell peppers into wide strips, discarding the stems, seeds, and membranes. Slice the red onion into 1/4-inch thick rounds, keeping the rings intact if possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together well.
Add the zucchini, red peppers, and onion slices to the bowl. Toss gently to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Arrange the vegetables directly on the grill grates or in the grill pan. Cook for about 3-5 minutes per side, or until they develop nice grill marks and are tender but still slightly crisp. Turn them carefully using tongs to prevent sticking or breaking.
Remove the grilled vegetables from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve the grilled zucchini, onions, and red peppers warm as a side dish, or use them as a topping for salads, sandwiches, or wraps.
