Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 2 medium yellow squash
- 1 bunch asparagus
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 large portobello mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).
Slice zucchini and yellow squash into 1/2 inch thick rounds.
Cut the red bell pepper into large chunks, about 1-inch pieces.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus.
Slice the red onion into 1/2 inch thick rings.
Remove the stems from the portobello mushrooms and if large, cut them in half.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Add all the prepared vegetables to the bowl and gently toss until well coated with the marinade.
Allow the vegetables to marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for more flavor.
Arrange the vegetables on the preheated grill, placing larger pieces directly on the grill grates and smaller pieces in a grill basket if available.
Grill the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes per side, turning occasionally for even char marks. Vegetables should be tender and slightly charred.
Remove from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve warm as a side dish or a main course for a nourishing low-carb meal.
