Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium Red onion
- 1 bunch Asparagus
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly.
Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Cut the red and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch wide strips.
Peel the red onion and slice it into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Trim the woody ends from the asparagus.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended to make a marinade.
Add the sliced vegetables to the bowl and toss until they are well coated with the marinade. Let them sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Place the vegetables directly on the grill grates or on a grill pan.
Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
Remove vegetables from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the grilled vegetables before serving.
Serve the grilled vegetable medley warm as a side dish or a light and healthy main course.
