Rinse all the vegetables thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Trim the ends of the zucchini and yellow squash, and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rounds.
Core and seed the red bell pepper, then cut it into 1 inch wide strips.
Trim the woody ends from the asparagus.
Peel the red onion and cut it into 1/2 inch thick rounds, ensuring you keep the rounds intact for easier grilling.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C).
Arrange all the prepared vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
Lightly spray the vegetables with olive oil spray, ensuring they are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the vegetables.
Place the vegetables on the preheated grill. For the onion rings, use a grill basket or skewer to help them retain their shape.
Grill the vegetables for 10 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking. They should be tender and have visible grill marks when done.
Remove the vegetables from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter.
Serve immediately as a side dish, or add to other dishes for a hearty, low-fat meal.
