Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Wash and dry the broccoli, asparagus, and zucchini. Trim the thick stems of the broccoli and cut the florets into bite-sized pieces. Trim the woody ends from the asparagus. Slice the zucchini lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick strips.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and chop the parsley roughly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine broccoli, asparagus, and zucchini with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Place the vegetables in a single layer on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until they are tender and have grill marks.
Remove the grilled vegetables from the grill and return them to the mixing bowl.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the grilled greens and toss again to combine.
Transfer the grilled greens to a serving platter and serve immediately while warm.
