In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually add the soy sauce and olive oil, whisking continuously to emulsify the mixture.
Stir in the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and optional fresh rosemary for an herby flavor boost.
Taste the marinade and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more honey for sweetness or vinegar for tanginess.
Transfer the marinade to a sealable plastic bag or container.
Add your choice of vegetables (such as zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms, or asparagus) to the marinade. Ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated by tossing or shaking the bag gently.
Let the vegetables marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor. Refrigerate while marinating.
Once marinated, cook the vegetables using your preferred method (grilling, roasting, or sautéing) until tender and lightly charred.
